Lisa Glaser, Jewelry, Lost Wax Casting
Des Moines, Iowa
Lisa Glaser is a multi-media artist specializing in silversmithing, Lost-Wax casting, and lapidary arts. Lisa’s designs are inspired by the natural world. Each semi-precious stone is cut to reveal the hidden story within and each gemstone is cut with a nature-inspired theme. Live plant materials are used to create molds for molten silver during the casting process.
Even beaded necklaces are designed to tell a story, be comfortable and perfect for any occasion.
Lisa is a multimedia artist whose passion for art began at an early age. A unique offering in high school introduced her to a love of silver, metalwork and her true passion of Lost Wax Casting.
“It is the immense beauty of nature that inspires my designs. When a richly-colored flower or a mundane twig is cast into silver, the process provides a new lens to view the remarkable lines and textures that otherwise may be overlooked. Adding gemstones to the piece increases the visual intensity and heightens the emotional connection to the design.”
