Studio Talks at The Bench
Artist Presentations
Join us for a special evening at The Bench Jewelry and Metalsmithing Studio as we welcome two artists for a presentation of their work. This event is part of our ongoing effort to foster connection and creativity within the growing artist community at The Bench.
The featured artists will share their creative journeys, discuss their techniques, and offer insights into their unique approaches to metalsmithing and jewelry design. Whether you're a practicing artist, student, or admirer of handmade craft, this is a wonderful opportunity to engage with fellow creatives and celebrate the artistry that defines our vibrant studio community.
This month we are hosting guest jeweler Ana Jiménez of Taller Sin Borde
Taller sin Borde is the creative space of Ana María Jiménez, where she works between object, body, and space. Her practice is guided by slowness, presence, and a deep attention to the sensitive, the ancestral, and the experimental.
She studied Architecture and earned a Master’s in Fine Arts from Universidad Nacional de Colombia, and trained in jewelry with various mentors in London, Barcelona, and Medellín.Her work has been exhibited and shared through talks and masterclasses in Colombia, the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Japan.
In her research line Volver al proceso (Return to the Process), she reconstructs pre-Hispanic goldsmithing techniques through artisanal methods and historical study. In the studio, she works with stone tools, clay molds for lost-wax casting, and alternative melting methods—opening a dialogue with the present through the body, the craft, and the material.
