I never met a craft material I didn't like. I was born in small town Indiana into one of the craftiest homes I know. My family always nurtured my desire to create and for that I'm grateful. From high school, I went on to graduate from Purdue University with majors in Art Education and Fine Arts with a minor in Art History. While there, I emphasized in Jewelry and Metalsmithing. For the past few years I have been freelance designing for craft and hobby publications. I truly have a passion for sharing my love of making fun and clever objects with others. I specialize in creating accessible mixed media jewelry and crafts with savvy design solutions and unique color combinations. In 2007, I single authored Felted Jewelry (Lark). Designer Needle Felting (Lark Books) I co-authored with Terry Taylor. I'm proud to announce my new book, Metalsmithing 101 for Beaders (Lark Books) will be released in Fall of 2009! My work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Currently, I live in Wabash, Indiana and you can find me working in my studio, teaching classes, having coffee at Modoc's or walking my dog, Rocker, around town. Please feel free to contact me with questions or if you want to work together.... candieATcandiecooper(DOT)com |
