Please join us in welcoming Thomas Mann to our shop for a one of a kind trunk show at Rebecca Myers Collection in the Village of Cross Keys.

Thomas Mann began making jewelry in high school and has been doing it ever since. An Icon of the American Craft Jewelry movement and a full-time practicing professional artist for close to 50 years. He describes himself as an artist working in the medium of jewelry and sculpture. Inspired by parts from machines, electronic instruments, costume jewelry, and old postcards and photos, Mann’s recurring but always changing parts give his work its storytelling quality and theatricality. He calls this design vocabulary, which combines industrial aesthetics and materials with evocative themes and romantic imagery, “Techno-Romantic”.

Thomas Mann will be in our showroom Friday, November 28 through Sunday, November 30. He will give a lecture on his work and the studio craft movement on Saturday evening at 5:00 pm in Suite 86 (next to Renaissance Fine Arts gallery). Light refreshments served.

“We’re immersed in an age of ever-expanding information and technology and it’s sometimes hard to remember that we’re human. Techno-Romantic jewelry objects are everyday talismans that talk about our connection to and separation from that technology.” —Thomas Mann

Thomas Mann lives and works in New Orleans where he oversees a jewelry design and production studio, sculpture studio, and gallery.
