Red Plume Agate Chalice (2018) Скульптура - Jim Harman

Jim grew up in southern California. He graduated from Long Beach State College in Long Beach California in 1967 with a BA in fine art. Through the 70's, Jim continued to paint. During that time he started cutting cabochon stones. A cabochon has a flat back and a domed top. Most often, agates and jaspers are cabochon cuts. With a large collection of cabochons, it was time for Jim to learn how to make jewelry. With the help form other jewelers, the learning process  began. In the early 80's Jim took a number of classes at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco. For 30 years, Jim worked in the jewelry trade. Part of the process of making custom jewelry included carving wax models to be cast by the lost wax casting process. The creation of wax models for jewelry and bronze pieces is much the same. For Jim, the transition was seem less. Jim's bronze pieces show case his stones.
