Bernadette Szajna

My company is ‘All For The Better Designs’ and my tagline reads ‘creating FEEL GOOD jewelry’. My main medium is silver metal clay. This particular medium provides me the versatility to meet my goal of creating one-of-a-kind art pieces that make people smile and feel better wearing them. Taking a piece of clay and being able to do so many different things to it, really feels like creating. The clay is workable in the wet state,the dried state and even the fired state. I can also enhance it, showcase it and make it quite wearable. I like to combine it with other media (e.g. copper, sterling) and techniques (e.g. chain maille, metalsmithing) to produce even more unique, happy-making jewelry. Many artists claim to be inspired by nature, music or spiritual influences. I cannot make these claims. Instead I am inspired by the people who will be wearing my art. A ‘this is beautiful’ or ‘I would wear this everyday’ or when a smile appears, I realize a particular piece has made someone feel happy. I also love to cook. I cook from the same place I make jewelry. I try to make food that will make my guests feel good, that their likes and dislikes have been taken into account. I like to see how people react to my art jewelry and this inspires me in my designs. I go for the smiles and good feelings with all for the better designs.
