About Us

From her first piece of jewelry, Kathleen Dennison has been enchanted by the fluid nature of precious metals. Born in New York City, she gained an appreciation for all kinds of art through her parents’ work representing artists and musicians. Her award-winning career began after meeting Ruth S. Roach, one of the shining starts of the American Modern Jewelry movement became her mentor and friend. Further studies with renowned metalsmiths Arline Fisch, Elenore Moty, and Marne Ryan shaped her career.

​

Workshops in glass bead making with Kate Fowle Meleny and Heather Trimlett have enhanced her work.

​

Kathleen handcrafts each jewelry piece using torch, hammers, pliers, and precious metals in the studio she shares with her husband and fellow metalsmith Robert Dennison. 

​

“We create well constructed, original pieces free from commercialism, drawing inspiration from all aspects of life and creative process. We believe people value the individuality and craftsmanship of handmade art jewelry."
