Pierrette Ashcroft
Artist's Statement
I studied industrial design and received a degree from Pratt Institute
in New York City. After graduation I worked in several museums in New
York and Washington, DC before starting Brown Dog Designs in 1990. In
1997, I co-authored the book Artists At Work: Polymer Clay Comes of Age.
After all these years I still love what I do and I continue to study
jewelry design and experiment with various techniques and try new
materials.
Each piece of jewelry is created in the USA by the artist, Pierrette Brown Ashcroft. The beads and heart pendants are sculpted by hand from polymer clay and embellshed with thin slices of millefiori canes to create the colorful patterns.
