Maggie’s Meltdown
Chris Magisano
Maggie’s Meltdown produces jewelry in both precious and alternative metals. The designs come straight out of Maggie’s head and she does her best to reproduce what she sees. Maggie had studied with & been influenced by Thomas Mann, Richard Salley, Andy Cooperman and Rosy Revolver. The work runs the gamete from modern minimalist to industrial gypsy and all points in between. http://maggiesmeltdown.blogspot.com 713-906-6880
Maggie’s Meltdown is the metal work business I’ve started after “”retiring”” from a full time job in pursuit of the mythical freedom of self-employment. After years of wearing jewelry and getting excited about someone else’s work, I was given the gift of opportunity by my partner. That opportunity was a two day class with New Orleans metal artist, Thomas Mann – someone whose work I admired greatly. That did it. A metal smith was born.
I love pulling metal pieces out of the hat and putting them together to bring an idea to life and even more, I love seeing my work on someone who is as excited about it as I.
