Kat Glazewski

I grew up near Dayton, Ohio. I love Skyline Chili, but hate the snow. In 2010 I earned my Fine Arts degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design, and would have remained a student forever if given the option. Instead I returned to Ohio, near Cleveland this time, and passed the time by making chainmail and learning to cut and polish rocks at my local lapidary club.

In 2017 I moved to California (a low-snow region) where I finally have the space and resources to return to my college projects and bring them to life in new ways.

My jewelry style is modernism with a touch of whimsy. I'm intrigued by the process of Making; I especially enjoy exploring new methods and techniques, and trying to combine new skills with old. I am making jewelry for those who want to wear Art, for those who always have a story about the little joys they find in life, and for those who want to diminish the mundane by bringing sparkle to every part of life.

KJD Blog is an accessory to the journey, here to chronical the designs, processes and progress, and random thoughts that occur along the way.

A Few Statements

I purchase a few components (such as chains or clasps) premade. I design all of my own work, and I personally produce it from majority raw materials in my studio in California. This is handmade.

I support the LGBTQ+ community. I believe love is love, and marriage should be equally available to all. I believe we all have a right to bodily autonomy, and to express our gender in a way the feels true to ourselves.

I am against generative AI. Most of these products appear to be created from artwork without the artists' permission, most appear to have an unreasonable impact on the environment simply to exist, and I do not want computers to be creating Art in the future. Let the robots fold laundry, let the people make art.
