Ms. Anne Larsen

Anne Larsen learned traditional silversmithing at a fine arts high school then took an eleven year detour before returning to metals in 1993, when she started to teach herself jewelry techniques and design. She has been a full-time metalsmith since 1995 and is the sole proprietor of Deerlight Studio in Berkeley Springs, WV. She works in precious, base, and ferrous metals as well as with enamels; her products range from funerary urns to earrings to tea accessories, though she has a special fondness for boxes and nifty mechanisms.
