EVENTS
ALISHAN JEWELRY
MAY 7-8
Alishan Halebian approaches jewelry the way a sculptor approaches form — as a three-dimensional problem to be solved in precious metal. The California-based, Armenian-born designer is a self-taught goldsmith who began his career in 1970, drawing inspiration from sources as far-ranging as Eastern European architecture, West African masks, classical antiquity, and the natural world. His signature technique layers different colored metals within a single piece, producing work that reads as architecturally bold and, somehow, weightless at once. Each piece is handcrafted in his Tustin studio and finished to museum-exhibition standards; Halebian’s work has been shown in institutions across the U.S. and abroad, and has earned recognition from the American Gem Trade Association, Platinum Guild International, and the International Pearl Competition.
Friday and Saturday from 10–5 p.m.
