Jewelry



BABS MIYANO-YOUNG'S interest in art began in high school, taking every art course she could including jewelry, ceramics, glass blowing, photography, drawing & painting. She later attended the California College of Arts & Crafts, the Honolulu Academy of Arts, and then at the University of Hawaii Manoa, where she received her BFA in 1982. She is mostly known in Hawaii for her work in glass and sculpture (a large freestanding outdoor sculpture commission in copper, neon, plex & stainless steel can be seen at University of Hawaii's Stan Sheriff Center.) Her work has been displayed in invitational shows in Paris, Tokyo, Osaka, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Tennessee & Florida,and is in private & public collections locally and abroad. Babs enjoys combining different elements and textures, often using contrasting bead sizes in creating theseone-of-a-kind necklaces, earrings, eyeglass necklaces and holders.



GORDON UYEHARA is a silver metal clay artist and instructor residing in Honolulu, Hawaii. Working with metal clay led him to rediscover an attraction to small scale design and wearable art. His motivation is to create pieces that are familiar and yet interestingly seductive and to explore the outer design limits of this relatively new art form. He gradually incorporates traditional jewelry making techniques into his work as he learns them. Inspiration for his creations arrives from nature, science-fiction, and from the visual and performance artists he admires. Gordon actively participates in local, national, and international juried exhibitions.

I enjoy creating with metal clay. It’s the ease of expression and the transformation that occurs during firing I still find fascinating. Creation occurs somewhere between careful intent and unconscious spontaneity. I seek that perfect state where creative expression becomes effortless.
