British but of french descent. he became one of the  most important silver-makers of his time. he was known for his innovating designs as well as his bold use of the material. he mostly worked for specific customers rather than make a piece and wait for it to be sold.

designer loves art....Jörg Ruel...124

any artist can tell you, detail can make or break a piece


this is Jörg Ruel

from Nürnberg, Germany he was a metalsmith, and from the little i found from him quite talented. the detail of his work is amazing. his use of material and incorporating objects such as a shell is wonderful. i believe most of his work is privately owned. if anyone finds more information about him please let me know i would like to  extend this a little more.

designer loves art....Julia Barello...123

we recycle many things, but some materials go unnoticed until someone sees then in another way.

A teacher in the NMSU, her artwork is in a material that hasn't been used before, she is using x-ray film, she cuts it out and dyes it with colour. she likes to explore the balance between  order and excess. her work comes to life with not only the transparency of the pieces but also though the shadow they leave behind.
