I can’t remember when I met Sarah C. Chapman and her Chapman Metals – but it was want at first site. Sarah has a way with metal, semi-precious stones that is elegant and unique. What really attracted me is Sarah makes the links in each piece. As always, I am proud to have a few of her pieces in my collection.

I followed Chapman Metals and Sarah at street fairs, exhibits and art shows all over Chicago and Michigan. You can see and lust (or buy) her work on Facebook, Instagram, her website and listing of events and galleries. If you’re lucky enough to live near a Chapman Metals workshop – GO!

Sarah C. Chapman is inspired by architecture, by nature as architect, and by her desire to build. She strives to find a balance between the industrial and natural worlds, with a focus on the functionality of her jewelry. She has worked in the field for over 15 years and primarily works with oxidized sterling silver, copper, brass, and 14k gold to create her Chapman Metal signature pieces.

This blog is dedicated to art, artisans, food, travel and markets because I love the journey of discovery. I enjoy finding local artists, markets, food and supporting the local economy wherever I may be. And now I have chosen to share my discoveries with you!
