found studio paris

is where metalsmith Karen Wettlaufer lives and creates.  

"Inspired by nature I forage and photograph moments of wonder. These textures, vistas and colours find their way into each unique creation."

Joy lies in the discovery; that dreamy place where inspiration morphs into an idea and then a design. Satisfaction comes in the making, and connection happens when the finished piece appeals to the visual and emotional senses of someone else.  In that moment the cycle begins again; joy, satisfaction, and connection.

Innovation and experimentation with new techniques build on a solid base of traditional goldsmithing skills, keeping the work fresh and learning constant.
Precious metal clay in combination with 24K gold, vitreous enamel, sterling silver and copper are the materials currently being used as well as natural stones and found objects.
