Cynthia Gorman’s work is based on visuals that have mingled a way into her life, like the retro style wallpaper in the parent’s bedroom and artifacts she studied while in England.
Each enameled piece is made by fusing glass to copper. Delicate lines are formed out of fine silver. Each piece is fired in a kiln at least 6 times at temperatures of 1400-1500 degrees Fahrenheit. To complete the enameling process, each piece is hand ground flat and then flash fired to bring out the beautiful glowing glass finish. Handcrafted settings are fabricated in sterling silver with a fine silver bezel. All findings, including the earring wires and clasps, are handmade.
