Stephen Stark has been a professional metalsmith for fifteen years. He also has a B.F.A. in jewelry and metalsmithing from the California College of Arts and Crafts. He primarily works in silver, gold and bronze. The love of metal is an inspiration to him employing a number of different techniques to create the texture form and feel of each piece. The endless potential of precious metal to assume almost any form allows new possibilities with each new piece. He is fascinated by ancient metalwork from all continents and cultures, Surrealist Art, gardening, fly fishing and fly tying, knitting and anything involving chickens. In addition to holding a number of important positons at Inferno Artworks he also teaches a variety of jewelry making classes at The Crucible in Oakland CA.
