Artist Interview: Jody Sachs 6/4/2015

I'm a sucker for a fabulous pair of bold, dangling silver earrings. If you are too, then you need to visit the talented Jody Sachs at Artists & Makers Studios where she tempers boldness of form with delicate, rippling textures that hint at her other passion: science. A&M holds First Friday receptions each month unless the Friday falls on a holiday. See dates and details here.
A resident of Rockville for more than 20 years, Jody started making jewelry in the 1970s, and was inspired by cells at a microscopic level, the connections these cells make, and how all life forms have many cell structures and connections in common. You can easily see that her work is influenced by nature, light, and the idea of permanence. And she's a wonderful person I'm really glad to have met at the studio! Keep reading to learn more about Jody and her wonderful work...
Why do you make art?
I like forming metal by hand in silver and gold, transforming them into literally “precious” objects. I enjoy playing with the interaction of their shapes, to make wearable art (earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets). I love the hard process of changing the shape of metal from two dimensions to three dimensions. Sometimes I find that I have an image of what I am ready to make in my head, and I just have to dedicate time to get the image that I see in my head, to get the metal fabricated so others can see what I see in my head. It is beautiful when they see it, also.

Studio Inspiration May 11, 2015 by ABI
Artists create in many different ways. We took a look inside the studios of some artists who share their inspiration and their work in progress.
Jewelry designer Jody Sachs talks about her technique. “I like forming metal by hand in silver and gold, transforming them into literally ‘precious’ objects. I enjoy playing with the interaction of their shapes, to make wearable art.” She shares the inspiration for her organic designs, saying, “I grew up and now live in a wooded area. I draw my inspiration from nature and my surroundings. Sometimes it is the leaves and trees, and other times water, and underwater life forms.”
