Jennifer Allen Jewelry
Biography
I recently started making ceramic jewelry in an effort to stay creative while care taking my 2 year old son. I have enjoyed every minute of this trajectory and look forward to what the future holds. Most work is either porcelain and sterling silver or porcelain and Kanthal wire. The hammered metalwork is an attempt for me to embrace imperfections in a new medium. Jen Allen received a BFA (2002) from the University of Alaska, Anchorage, and a MFA (2006) from Indiana University, Bloomington.
