About: Susan Harbourt, is an engineer by training, an artist by accident, and a self taught metalsmith by choice.
One fateful night, she was helping her husband update the original electrical system in their Edwardian era house. Scattered all over the floor were piles of lovely aged copper. In an absent-minded gesture, she picked up a few scraps and wove them into a bracelet. A spark was ignited and a passion was born in that very moment.
Now, Susan loves to experiment with a variety of metals and materials to see where her hammer takes her. There is an unequaled satisfaction in feeling the magic of making metal transform from something you would dismiss as a scrap to an amazing work of art. She primarily works in recycled sterling silver and reclaimed copper making an array of rings, necklaces, bracelets, bookmarks, and sentimental gifts.
Most days, Susan can be found working along at her bench with all her tools in action: saw, torch, hammers, anvil, and the list goes on…
Susan has created unique collections of jewelry and fashion accessories that combine careful workmanship with unique materials and designs. It is her hope that the wearers of her pieces will find joy in a delightful artistic statement, and also something that enhances their individuality and confidence.
Her award winning work is carried in national catalogs, local galleries, boutiques and online. Please visit http://www.SusanHarbourt.com for Susan Harbourt’s online flagship store.
