Judi Forman, based in Westminster, Vermont, is a metal artist working with silver, copper, niobium, and steel, using techniques such as anodizing, imprinting texture, and drawing with colored pencil. The artist uses patinated copper with colored pencil along with silver to create works such as “Three Birds Brooch and Pendant” Forman designs compositions often inspired by nature on and with the multiple surfaces she has shaped. Multiple pieces are often riveted together to present the final work. Forman’s most recent work using colored pencil on copper, adds both bright color and texture to the artist’s jewelry.

“I find inspiration in the work of my teachers and other jewelry artists, but then it boils down to just what happens between me and the materials. I love the synergy between the metal, my ideas and the tools. Some of my favorite pieces are the result of serendipity such as how a particular piece of copper responds to the heat of a torch on a particular day and acquires a one-of-a-kind patina.” -Judi Forman
