Bio:
Wendy Hoffman is a jewelry
artisan living and working in
Brownsville, Oregon. She has
been fascinated by the creative
arts as long as she can
remember, dabbling in painting,
improvisation, music and various
other areas, but didn't find her
niche until about five years
ago. At that point she
discovered the lure of beads!
When her husband asked what she
was going to do with all of
those earrings she was making,
she said "sell them" and her
business, Moon Bead Arts was
created. Over the last six years
she has broadened her jewelry
making talents to include Art
Clay. She is a Senior Instructor
in this medium and has been
teaching introductory, specialty
and advanced classes in the
mid-Willamette area for four
years. She also teaches wire and
beading techniques. Wendy's
latest endeavor is learning to
make lamp-worked glass beads.
She has shown her work in
several shows and has sold her
jewelry in Oregon stores and
galleries in Corvallis, Albany,
Salem, Brownsville and Port
Townsend, WA. Wendy's studio is
located on the banks of the
Calapooia River in the 1879
historic home owned by herself
and her husband. |

Philosophy:
"Creativity is the
imagination at play with the
things it loves." - Carl
Jung I believe that
creativity is of utmost
importance in life. The idea
that we have the ability to
create, that which has never
been created before, is so
amazing. I satisfy my
longing for meaning in life
through my work as a jewelry
artisan. I find the process
of creating at least as
important as the resulting
creation. My pieces are
formed from Art Clay silver
and gold, glass and
semi-precious beads, wire
and other organic materials.
I make many different,
individually created,
bracelets, necklaces, rings
and pins from the very
dressy to everyday informal.
I find that once I have
created a piece, the
challenge has been met and I
move on to a new idea, hence
no two pieces are alike. I
also find teaching Art Clay
Silver and wire jewelry
classes very enriching. |
