Susie Sawin

Susie Sawin started her study of silversmithing and lapidary arts under the wonderful instruction of Dale Smith and Judith Foster at Ghost Ranch. Over the past 12 years, Susie has continued to explore and refine her skills both at the ranch and at her studio at home. She loves the confluence of technical challenge and artistic freedom that comes when silver and stone is brought together in a piece of art. Susie’s jewelry has been featured at local galleries and shows around her hometown and examples can be seen online at susiesawin.com. When not in her silver studio, Susie is a practicing dentist and mom to two grown humans and three dogs in Columbus, Indiana.
