My Studio
*HAPPY NEW YEAR* 2010
... let's make it our best year ever.......
Taichiwithgail.com: Students & Friends....
Look to the left, the bottom of the index is my
Tai Chi info page.....
You will find schedules, information on classes, etc.
Dear Collectors: Sorry.. for the 3 months of quiet, our family had BIG challenges. My father-in-law lost his battle with bone cancer while he was living with us in home care hospice. I'll post my calendar this month on where to find me this year and what I'm working on... I'm starting my "New Year.". studio clean up and get things working again... (my studio became furniture storage while we cared for my pop-in-law). I can't wait to get back to having fun in the studio!!!
I'm gail Mutoza, a metalsmith artisan, and yes, I teach Tai Chi too.
(say that 3 times fast :-) !) My passion is handcrafting
silver & precious metals into art: jewelry to small animal sculptures to teaspoons and beyond. I design and hand make one-of-a-kind
unique, original pieces. I am always learning and trying new techniques for designs.
Making things has always been part of my "dna"- much of
it would have made you laugh. I'm still making what I love- now
with Silver and metals,
so it's really easy for me to
have fun "working." In my "GALLERY" you can see a sampling of
pieces I've made that have been sold or have been sent to galleries
across the country. Just click on gallery to take a look.
My studio is in California's Central Coast. Our village community
of Aromas, is 3,000 strong with a Post Office, library, feed store, cafe, auto repair, store and an old time "Town Square." Here's the view from my kitchen window:
Any day I might see wild turkeys, foxes, redtail hawks, deer, or
coyotes and an assortment of birds and butterflies. Mountain lions have
been seen in our area and by people that I "believe".. i don't think
this is a rural legend- (haha). This climate, landscape and
community inspire me to create beautiful things. We spotted this turkey (along with 7 more) in our field:
My studio is available for classes or a tour. To schedule a visit or discuss
classes, please call: 1-831-726-9242
or email: gail@finesilverdesigns.com.
August & Sept: Classes are all now full.
I do commissions of one-of-a-kind work and limited production of
"unique to order" pieces, these are usually for a family or a wedding-
for wedding party gifts. Designs are custom for each commission.
