My work often takes me there. There I learned that it is indeed appropriate to deliberately incorporate light and movement and scale into the  functions of daily life - be it adornment or breakfast. I create jewelry and small sculpture using a mix of standard jeweler's techniques and traditional smithing. My work is both contemporary and organic; polished, but still distinctly handmade. As you explore the work from my bench, may you, too, be blessed by the play of art in your life.                                                                             -ginger meek allen * * * * * Ginger's studio is moving!

Ginger loves to incorporate stones, trinkets or old jewelry (pieces or parts) from the client's collection into new custom designs for her clients. She also welcomes repair and restoration requests on all kinds of jewelry. Market value is not as important as the personal value of an object to the client. If it means something to you, then it's worth using or restoring.  Ginger's clients say it again and again.She's not just a regular jeweler. ******* OWN A PIECE OF GINGER'S WORK?

TWO VOICES....

Working with a palette of sterling silver, gold, gemstones and sometimes found objects, artist Ginger Meek Allen creates jewelry, utensils and small-scale sculpture. Mixed media painting on canvas provides contrast to her creative process in metals to generate a varied body of work.

As a metalsmith and studio jeweler, Ginger combines artisan skill with aesthetic finesse in making handmade rings, pendants, earrings, wedding bands, bracelets and necklaces in her downtown Wake Forest, North Carolina, metals studio. Her skills at the bench, including forging, fabricating, etching, creative stonesetting and texturing - when linked with her eye for contemporary design - generate a unique and expressive body of work that conveys the mark of the human hand.

Her paintings and sculpture evoke a sense of story while presenting a vignette of the human condition. Her most recent work explores the power of the written word, and its impact on the reader, the writer, and collective consciousness.

Whether commissioned by a custom client or generated by Ginger’s personal artistic vision, each piece is a meaningful celebration of the power of both art and fine craft to inspire, commemorate and preserve.
