Gail
Crosman Moore |
 |
|
Nestled among
the hills of the north Quabbin Region in Massachusetts, Gail
Crosman Moore experiments
with various techniques and materials to create vastly different kinds
of jewelry. On the one hand, she works with molten glass to make
intricate beads, and on the other, she uses felt as a sculptural
medium, and in jewelry. She says using complex coloration and a soft
palette helps keep her work fresh. She’s been recognized in
such publications as Bead and Button and Lapidary Journal, and
she’s just recently exhibited her work at the prestigious
Philadelphia Museum of Arts Craft Show. Find out more about Gail
Crosman Moore’s jewelry and business in our online exclusive.
