Rosemary Orgren

Rosemary is a metal smith and glass fuser. She loves pattern, texture, form and shape. She says of her craft, “I am challenged by finding ways to bring these elements together in cohesive and fluid designs. My father – a pattern maker– passed on to me a lifelong love of tools and their uses, esteem for sound construction, and a fascination with mechanisms of all kinds. It is important to me that my metal work, largely jewelry, be fully realized, assembled with care, and attractively finished front and back.” Rosemary has  been a metal smith for over 20 years, and more recently has added glass fusing to her repertoire, incorporating it into jewelry pieces as well as producing functional vessels and stand along decorative pieces. She is  a juried artist in both media with the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. Rosemary is a proud board member of CraftStudies.
