February - The Time of Year for Jewelry & Chocolates!

During the month of February, VIVA is excited to be showcasing our Jewelry and Chocolates show. What better month to treat yourself or a friend to something yummy.  We have invited several innovative guest artist jewelers and will feature new work by VIVA’s own talented jewelers.  Chocolates will be provided by Driftless Chocolates.

Guest Jewelers
Brittany Foster of bmf jewelry is from Ely, Minnesota.  Brittany worked for a number of years as a custom jeweler in Minneapolis.  Eventually, she ended up in Ely, Minnesota, after deciding she wanted a quieter life.  She works in silver, stone, gold, and brass.  She uses a number of involved processes in the making of her jewelry.

Rachel Hoscheit of Fox & Fern Designs was captivated by nature in early childhood.  She uses that influence in her work.  Through a process called copper electroforming, she is able to preserve nature’s beauty in the form of wearable art.  She currently resides in Onalaska.    

No Rules jewelers Maya Madden and Wayne Farra have been creating jewelry for many years.  They are located outside of Spring Green, Wisconsin.  Their business name reflects the idea that there are no rules when it comes to expressing an idea in art.  Because of this philosophy, their designs will always be unique.
