Juror’s Comments:
Bruce Bernstein: The workmanship: with silver, you’re layering metal, moving metal, keeping the stampwork even all the way around. It’s complex, and it’s just got to be right in every dimension. It makes a very pleasing, balanced piece.
Pam Lujan-Hauer: I agree, it’s a technique that’s very hard to do, and it’s pretty!
