I am so excited to be partnering with a store that is just the kind of place I would love to create if they hadn’t already done it. Lost Wax Studio is very special in that it not only has beautiful things to buy, it also fuels and feeds that burning desire to MAKE. Tam Tran is the creative director behind the space; extremely talented jeweler and designer, I am in awe of her endless stream of outside-the-box brilliant ideas. If we were in high school, she’d be the girl everyone wants to hang out with – the coolest girl in the room. Tam teaches a variety of workshops at the store where people actually make a piece of jewelry. Now, I’ve been making jewelry for a long (loooong) time, so you wouldn’t think this would interest me very much. But I went to one this past Thursday evening where we learned to make wrap bracelets (you know, the Chan Luu style that is really popular, but oh so pretty), and you know what? I had a great time. No, I had a FANTASTIC time, and I love my bracelet so much I haven’t taken it off!
Tam’s workshops are becoming so popular that corporations are having her come in to teach workshops to executives - a very creative way of fostering communication and teamwork. I do think the world would be a better place if the leaders of nations would sit down together and make a wrap bracelet.
