East Camp Goods with Jenna Fennell

A thousand facets sits with Jenna Fennell from East camp goods and they talked about her education, her beginnings at the Met museum and how she found her voice!. About: Jenna Wainwright Fennell and Andy Fennell, the couple behind East Camp Goods, are metalsmiths based in upstate New York. Jenna is a classically trained goldsmith, who learned the fundamentals of metalsmithing at RISD while an undergraduate at Brown University 20 years ago. Andy is a skilled builder with a BFA in Sculpture from SUNY Purchase, well versed in metal forging at a large and small scale. Their jewelry designs are strongly influenced by their experiences working intimately with objects in the underground workshops of the Metropolitan Museum of Art - as a mount-maker and a crate-builder. Together, they share the creative process in designing and making the East Camp Goods jewelry line, creating bold yet delicate sculptural forms, with a finely tuned balance of scale. Working directly with high karat gold, Jenna and Andy melt, hammer, manipulate, and coax forms into shape from sheet and rod. From chain-making to stone-setting, all steps are performed in-house using old world goldsmithing techniques.
