About Claire Steckel
Claire's journey as a metalsmith and one-woman show began in her late teens, when she stumbled upon a beading shop near her first apartment. She soon realized that beading was limiting and could not create the designs she dreamed of, so she set out to teach herself metalsmithing techniques and work under master goldsmiths to bring her creative visions to life. After years of dedication and hard work, Claire now primarily works in her home studio, forging and designing beautiful pieces of jewelry with traditional and innovative metalsmithing techniques.
In her spare time, Claire loves foraging, cooking, reading, and playing the piano. Her diverse interests have helped her to become a master of her craft and to use jewelry as a form of communication - allowing her customer's stories to shine through in every piece she creates.
