Holly Minniti (Day 2)
About the Artist
During walks, hikes and general exploration of our amazing world, I've always filled my pockets with rocks and such. About ten years ago, I started incorporating these items into wearable art. In addition to jewelry making, I am now using some of my larger found objects for wall hangings and shadow boxes. As a newer transplant to Tucson, I constantly see inspiration and wonder in our desert landscape. I try to instill the same in my pieces. To keep my creative juices going, I make sure there is plenty of time for play and whimsy in my work (fun with papier-maché for example), as well as seeking out challenges to further my artistic journey (a recent exploration of watercolor). My years may be getting up there, but I still maintain a childlike curiosity. I think this shows in my work.How to Purchase

$1-$150About this Event
In my studio I will be showcasing the process for making my one of a kind jewelry: from the selection of found materials, creation of a pendant, and finally marrying these objects with complimentary & natural elements to form the final necklace. I look forward to answering any questions and/or demonstrating my jewelry making skills.
Visitors to my studio will also get to see shadow boxes, papier-maché or paintings in process. While supplies last – there will be a hands on craft project for making a Christmas tree ornament that can be taken home in time for the holidays. This open studio will also provide an opportunity for the public to purchase unique, one-of-a-kind items. My studio will especially appeal to fellow rockhounds (you know who you are 😉 but everyone can be prepared for an informative, fun and hands-on experience. I look forward to meeting you!
