After taking care of the kids, dogs, chickens, husband...I have time for a cup of coffee and my art. I have done so many things over the years...sewing, weaving, reupholstery, jewelry...I love to create things and use my hands. After I took a glass fusing class creating took a whole new spin. After investing in a few supplies, like a kiln and a torch, I learned how to create my own lampwork glass beads. From there I naturally had to make them into jewelry and so silver work naturally followed!
Welcome to StormFlight Designs Studios, the handcrafted jewelry studios of Jamie Cox and StaC Peterson. All our creations are individually crafted in sterling silver, sterling filled and base metals with handmade lampwork glass beads, semi-precious gems and stones in a wide variety of styles. This is not a factory, we make each piece one at a time from a spark of inspiration. We take great pride in our workmanship.
Hand Crafted Artisan Jewelry
Ever since I was a child I have enjoyed art in all its myriad forms. My parents encouraged me to take every art class I could while growing up. I started out with a magic-marker class and progressed through each medium of drawing and painting, and then into ceramics and bronze modeling. In my teens I began finding my style through fabric – clothing design and quilting where I strengthened my skills with a degree in Home Economics where I focused on fashion and clothing design. I love geometric shapes, colors and the practicality of a nice warm quilt. It wasn’t until my family and I did some gem mining in North Carolina that I finally discovered how much I love gems and rocks…that's when my creative spark began to flame in a big way. I finely found an art form I could sink my teeth into. I took a gem faceting class and then realized I needed to learn how to set them into wearable art! So, my journey into the wonderful world of metal began and has become my passion.
