Metalwork

Jason Younis y Delgado

Raised in Santa Fe, I live in Albuquerque now. I used to sit at my grandmother Angelina’s bench and watch her work as a young boy. At 13 I asked her how one becomes a tinsmith in our family’s tradition. That began my apprenticeship. I was always attracted to metalwork, but the fact that my family had such a rich history in tinwork along with it’s unique connection to New Mexico made it easy and natural to devote myself to this craft. I order my tin from steel mills out east. The designs I use are guided by my apprenticeship and by the study of work completed by previous generations of my family. As my grandmother once described to me: “Image your great, great grandfather could pick up one of your pieces. I don’t expect that he would see his work. I expect that he would see his legacy in YOUR work.”. New Mexico is full of homes and collections of early tinwork. Because they were recycled and handmade, no two are alike. I’m always seeing pieces that inspire me to create new designs.

Painting & Photography

Carolee Friday

Carolee’s fine art photography is a true passion and calling, capturing the rich history, devotion, beauty, tradition, and whimsy of New Mexico.

El Rito

It’s a short walk to El Rito Creek—just follow the arroyo down. Seasons shift the land from wildflowers to golden grasses, sandstone flats, and weathered rock walls where cattails wave and a bullfrog’s plop breaks the quiet.

Both have found their way back to glass after time apart from it.

Meltdown Studio

Meltdown Studio Jewelry is handmade by jewelry artist Lauren Tobey in Albuquerque, New Mexico where she collects materials, and inspiration, from the gorgeous landscape of the southwestern desert. Seeds, pods, skulls, bones, twigs, and minerals are the basis of Lauren’s process. These precious flora and fauna are cast using a lost wax casting method in reclaimed sterling silver and ancient bronze and are then fabricated using ornamentation of locally sourced gems and minerals. Turquoise and other stones are used to embellish these natural adornments. Each piece is oxidized and hand-polished to achieve a subtle antiqued finish, perpetuating – in wearable art – the inconceivable beauty of the natural southwestern desert.
