Elizabeth Haskins is a wonderful silver smith who lives in Mobile, Alabama. Her sister lives here in Dahlonega, and that's how we came to know of Elizabeth and her husband, Bob, who is a potter.
Elizabeth works with silver and precious stones, often turquoise. Recently, she has been inspired by an event that would change her and Bob's lives forever. While dealing with this event, Elizabeth and Bob both had a hard time, and turned to their artwork often to just move through the day. However, some of the work that began to appear had significance in their mutual grieving, and Elizabeth found herself growing as an artist, and dealing with this event began to change her work.
She first brought into the gallery beautiful, simple, silver bangles, which she called "Story Bracelets." Currently I have one story bracelet, and it reads, "I add my breath to your breath, so that our days may be long on this earth." It's stunning in its simplicity, and in it's story.
I hope you'll enjoy Elizabeth's work! And if we're lucky, we'll have a wonderful new collection of Bob's pottery soon to show you!
