This modern design composition - pressing textile patterns into metal and wearing the metal - helps connect people to the tradition and enduring energy of woven and stitched fabrics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Bent Metal pieces are made in Erica’s home studio, a small room with large windows. In the fields around her house, she has begun to cultivate flax. With its thirty-thousand year history of human use and notable role in New England’s textile tradition, flax moves Erica closer to her admirable goal of one hundred percent local sourcing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the artist: “For what I do, I prefer the word craftsperson over maker or creator because I don’t think I create something new. I have always loved exploring the weave patterns of textiles. I try to take the traditional patterns, textures, and techniques and apply them to jewelry.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" class=\"rte\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e"}
