Drawn and Hammered: new work in forged steel by Jim Adams

Melissa Designer Jewelry presents Drawn and Hammered: new work in forged steel by Jim Adams as part of the Last Fridays Art Walk in Downtown Hillsborough, NC. Jim Adams is a studio artist based in Hillsborough, NC. His work includes commissioned and exhibited sculpture, furniture, jewelry and architectural elements in metal, stone, wood, glass and up-cycled elements. "Informed by natural elements my work is born of lines, forms and textures discovered in my walks on the beach and woodlands. My goal is to create an abstracted suggestion of natural forms. Forging steel into jewelry makes way for the illusion of movement and delicacy that contradicts typical notions of blacksmithing and metal sculpture." This show runs from August 26, 2016 to September 29, 2016. Opening reception August 26th from 6 pm to 9 pm.
