Okamoto Yoshiko (b. 1976)
Okamoto started as an illustration book artist and author in Yamaguchi prefecture, where she spent her young adult period depicting the beautiful four seasons and stories of nature found in her everyday life. Enrolling in arts and craft classes conducted by a Living National Treasure metalwork artist Yamamoto Akira (who also comes from Yamaguchi prefecture), shifted her direction to become a metalwork artist. After graduating college, she became a pupil of Mr.
Yamamoto and learned his specialized technique of Hagiawase (heat welding method with metal forging) and Kiribame-Zogan (heat welding method with cutout inlay). Her working motif has remained the same throughout her artist's career that is an endless story of nature woven by the four seasons in which she incorporates poetic and musical aspects. This is done by using gradation of many layers of colorful tones of metal.

Hagiawase (矧合) is a traditional Japanese metalworking technique involving the forging and heat-welding of different colored metals—such as copper, silver, shakudō, and shibuichi—to create intricate, multicolored, and often flowing patterns on a single, seamless surface. It is used to create art pieces, such as vases, and in samurai armor.

People who know about this sort of thing, what would you call this type of chain? I’ve had it since the 80s.

I built a new kiln controller. This time with touchscreen display. This is the 3rd kiln controller I've built. Same Neycraft manual kiln for ~30 years. Need to remove plastic film and finish screwing together, but test fire was 💯 #lostwaxcasting #jewelrymaking #silversmith #metalsmith #goldsmith

A domed and split piece of copper, held over the offending steel die.

A domed and split piece of copper, held over the offending steel die.

Gahh! I’m trying to get an impression from a die that’s deeper than I’m used to, in my hydraulic press, and the metal keeps splitting. Any ideas?

I saw a post on a jewellery sub that said the only people who wear rings on their index fingers are travellers (except they used a different word) and rock stars. Is that a real thing? I tried engaging them on it but the convo got shut down. #Silversmith #Metalsmith #JewelrySky #SmithSky

A striking vintage 1980s handmade hand fabricated mixed metals pewter bronze and copper geometric post-modernist box by acclaimed American artist/metalsmith Jon Michael Route of Wisconsin. Entirely handmade likely a one of a kind object with hinged lid decorated in a geometric design with copper and bronze sections, and with black velvet-lined interior. Really a work of art that has a practical use as well!
This outstanding post-modernist box measures 6.25" across by 3-1/8" by 1-1/8" tall at edges. It weighs 380 grams or about 13.5 ounces total prior to packing. Marked at bottom as shown, "Pewter" with the copyright symbol, and "Jon Michael Route" underneath. I haven't attempted to polish this box leaving that decision up to the new owner. Excellent vintage condition.

A one of a kind set of vintage 1980s Jon Michael Route USA handmade mixed metals pewter and bronze angular geometric post-modernist design coffeepot teapot and tray.
The coffee pot stands 10.5" tall by 7" from spout to tip of handle by 4" widest point. The tea pot stands 6" tall by 9" from tip of spout to tip of handle by 4" widest point. All three pieces are fully hand-signed and dated "1989" at bottom as shown in my photos. The set weighs just under 6 pounds total prior to packing. I haven't attempted to polish the set leaving that decision up to the new owner. Pewter is a soft metal, and this set was no doubt used by the original owners, and thus has accrued some fine pointed dings and light scratches and tarnish throughout, but nothing that can't be polished away if you want it to appear like new. Excellent vintage condition.

Jon Route has been a metalsmith working commercially, academically and independently, for over 45 years. Born in 1954, he received a BS in Art from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and an MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Jon worked in an architectural metals firm and as a jeweler before striking out on his own as an independent craft-artist. He has been invited twice to teach at U-W-Stout, Menomonie, Wisconsin as an adjunct professor and sabbatical replacement and has given many workshops throughout his career on the technical aspects of his craft. He has exhibited his hand constructed vessel forms, teapots and wall pieces at some of the best art/craft festival events in the United States including the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, the American Craft Expo in Evanston, the Philadelphia Craft Show, and the Smithsonian Craft Show. He is a 1998 recipient of a Wisconsin Individual Artist Fellowship and one of his pewter teapots was featured in Metalsmith Magazine’s 2001 “Exhibition in Print”.
Route’s work was chosen in 2001 to be included at the American Craft Museum in New York in an exhibition entitled “Objects for Use: Handmade By Design”, and the accompanying book published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Paul Smith, Director Emeritus, American Craft Museum, and General Editor. In 2006, Jon was invited to participate in an exhibition honoring the 28-year teaching collaboration between Fred Fenster and Eleanor Moty in the University of Wisconsin, Madison Art Metals program, organized by the Chazen Museum of Art, U-W Madison, Wisconsin, and at an exhibition at the West Bend Art Museum entitled “Time For A Nice Cuppa: Wisconsin Teapots”, in West Bend, Wisconsin. In 2009 Jon was invited by the Charles Allis Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to exhibit a retrospective of his work in his first solo museum show entitled, “For the Love of Metal”.
