The Arrowleaf

Paige is a self-taught metalsmith and lapidary artist, learning the trade through many broken sawblades and scorched fingertips. She uses several different techniques to make her work raw and original including sand-casting and hand-cut stones.

 Many of her pieces incorporate reclaimed silver that she processes herself. She recently took a leap to learn lapidary (cutting and polishing stones) and now most of the stones in her jewelry are cut and polished in her Winthrop tent-studio.

 Paige smiths sometimes with one kid on her hip, prefers skiing under a full-moon, and likes wearing glitter nail polish with her muck boots. She hopes you find the same joy in wearing her pieces as she finds in making them.

 You can find Paige’s jewelry on her website www.thearrowleaf.com, at Methow Valley Goods, as well as other shops around the valley.
