Jesse Robbins' Arizona roots inform his art. His mother's interest in traditional jewelry sparked his curiosity; master artisans Randy "Bubba" Shackleford and Jock Favour schooled him in silversmithing and stone cutting. Under Bubba's tutelage he learned the traditional technique of casting using molds hand carved from volcanic tufa stone, a method he continues to use as he transforms recycled sterling and coin silver into wearable art.
