James Greene, a new member of Tryon Arts and Crafts School, has been an artist all of his life, working in gold, as a fine art framer and as a graphic artist. Greene has created the larger 3-D pieces in the show.
Ruthie Cohen, jewelry instructor and silversmith, has created a delicate eagle pin crafted in sterling silver with oxidized copper with patina and set with a Mexican fire agate. Douglas Chamberlain has several assemblage pieces representing rural scenes and a humorous piece featuring a birdcage and a cat entitled “Shadow.”
