Leslie Jensen
Since the beginning of my career as a jewelry artist, my goal has been to create jewelry with the feel of 'modern antiquity'-contemporary designs inspired by the past. I started collecting vintage jewelry at a very young age which later inspired me to want to create my own. Precious Metal Clay has allowed me to transfer a look of the past into my more modern designs. The result? A piece of art that has a casual elegance, that like antiquity, is timeless and will be cherished throughout the years.
I am currently being represented at Art Diva's Gallery Taos, NM, Twist Gallery Bisbee, AZ, Seedboat Gallery, Silver City, NM and the Edward Bernard Gallery, Cape Girardeau, MO.

Doris King Designs
I am a metalsmith, Certified Instructor for Precious Metal Clay, and an NLP Life Coach.
A background in drawing, painting,
and textile design influences my
work with metal, resulting in a
painterly style and a weaving
together of texture and color.
Sterling and fine silver represents
a blank canvas.
My work has evolved into a
fusion of traditional
metalsmithing with the
innovative technology of
metal clay, resulting in
designs that are sculptural,
fluid, and interpretive.

Eclectic adornments to inspire a lighthearted and generous spirit. I have always possessed a strong desire to create and my hope is that my designs will serve as a good muse in your life. Art to serve as a tangible reminder, a talisman, a good luck charm to inspire a life of joy, happiness and passion. My artwork reflects a collage of experiences and I am eclectic in my design process using a variety of metals as well as paint, fabric, wood, organic and found objects in my jewelry and sculpture.
My Tucson studio is where I love teaching group and private classes in PMC. Click here for class schedule.

I have enjoyed over 20 years of nationwide gallery representation, participated in art exhibits, solo shows, served as juror for art and craft fairs, and presented at the 2006 PMC International Conference. I am published in PMC Technic, edited by Tim McCreight and in Setting Stones in Metal Clay, by Jeanette Landenwitch.
Teaching is a major interest and pleasure. Integrated in my jewelry classes is the importance creativity plays in our overall life. It is my goal to share that belief through my teaching, jewelry designs, and coaching.
