Amalia Thomas, Featured Wire Wrapped Jewelry Artist, October 2023

Amalia Thomas
Featured Craft Artist

“I love doing wire wrapping. As a young adult, I drew, painted using water colors, and did some pottery work.  While working and raising a family, sewing and gardening were easier hobbies to follow. Our family has made our home on the Central Coast for the past 29 years and we love living here. I have always loved beach rocks, shells, semi-precious stones and minerals and, found that wire wrapping gave me a way to incorporate these into beautiful art. I use only 99.9% cooper wire or sterling silver, both of which are nickel free.  Most of my wire wrap work enhances and keeps the focus on the semi-precious stone, shell, artisan or beach glass that is the center of the piece.  I like my pieces to be beautiful to look at and beautiful to wear, with a style that is casual and one of a kind.”
