Kathy Van Kleeck
Kathy Van Kleeck has been making jewelry since 1994, developing a distinctive style she calls Urban Primitive. In her Woodstock, New York studio, she rolls, pinches, and shapes fine silver metal clay by hand, leaving her fingerprints visible in every element—the literal hand of the maker. Her .999 fine silver jewelry has an organic, almost ancient quality, yet feels unexpectedly light and easy to wear. Thoughtful, durable, and quietly expressive, each piece is made with intention and gratitude.
