Theresa Carson &  Douglas
Shafer handcraft all of their
jewelry in their  Baltimore,
MD studio.

Theresa has been making   
and selling her work for     15
years.  Doug joined      her
shortly thereafter.  Other joint
projects in  their life are
raising their 3  children.

The work is about  juxtaposing
different  surfaces: polished,
matte, dark & light.  The  
patterns  are all done by  hand
with a sharp scribe.  The
textures and patterns  help to
give the pieces a  bit of
warmth to counter  the clean,
architectural  structure of the
pieces.
