Robert Burns

Specialty:
I have been fascinated by metalwork since a young age and work to incorporate many different mediums in my work. Through knife, tool, and jewelry making I can look at historic artifacts with many different lenses. I enjoy exploring the traditional and combining it with the contemporary producing unique works with a distinctive style. I am very interested exploring textures and balance of colors in my work while exploring different materials.
