Kingfisher Designs, Aberdeen, MS
Don and Louise Coulson use ancient textile, nautical, fiber and traditional metal smithing techniques in precious metals to create contemporary jewelry. The work is rooted in historical techniques and the natural beauty of the materials. Each piece is hand crafted from original designs.
The knotted and braided designs are developed through painstaking planning, experimentation and research. These well-thought-out pieces reflect authenticity and tradition influenced by tradition and precise craftsmanship.
The woven pieces are designed "outside the box" with a fanciful constant questioning of the materials and their possibilities both accidental and by design. These pieces are easily recognized for their intricacy and delicate marriage of materials, creativity and craftsmanship.
Each piece of jewelry is a product of both artists and their combination of instinct, natural skill and learned expertise.
