A Day At The Charmed I'm Sure Studio
Just a smige north of the PA turnpike, between Carlisle and Harrisburg, is the Charmed I'm Sure studio of enamel artist, Jean Van Brederode. Jean is well known in her circle, a wonderful artist and teacher who adds love and knowledge to the mix when it comes to copper anything! What I found most exciting and attractive were her nested bird egg necklaces.
Jean and I met at the most recent Art & Soul retreat in Virgina and I loved her style and enthusiasm for teaching. I had also heard from some of her students who had taken Jean's workshop about how terrific she was in the classroom.
I finally was able to sneak away to visit Jean and when I got there, could not stop oogling her tools as well as her setting. There was a pond with tadpoles, lots of birds and birdfeeders, and the calming wooded backdrop. I could have stayed for days at her studio sanctuary.....
While I visited, Jean was gracious enough to show me the down and dirty of copper enameling. I was able to make a bird's nest necklace for my mother in law and cannot wait till she see's it. Of course, I also had to buy one of Jean's treasures for my own. Just love these, don't your?
