Carolyn Huresky creates unique and modern polymer clay jewelry along with three-dimensional paper shadowboxes. Her polymer clay pieces are made by conditioning, rolling, cutting, baking, and polishing the clay. She molds, forms, and makes each piece of clay in the jewelry which gives every piece its own unique aesthetic and energy. Layers of cardstock are intricately cut and assembled to create three-dimensional pieces of art. White cardstock is used in her illuminated shadowboxes to reveal an incredible scene once lit up. She also creates shadowboxes that pop with color. Carolyn’s shadowbox work has been geared towards familiar sights in Crested Butte and Colorado. With so much in the area for inspiration, she’s taken her love for the outdoors and created various scenes that are dear to her. You can see Mt. Crested Butte, Gothic Mountain, Paradise Divide, and other local landmarks in her work. Notecards and prints of her work are also available. Please visit Carolyn’s studio and shop, Daydreams and Joy, at 309 6th Street, Unit B (in the back of the pink building at the 4-way stop).

Gothic Mountain Jewelers are a silversmithing couple based in Pitkin, CO. They make unique one of a kind pieces of wearable art inspired by nature. When they aren’t working away in their studio you can find them mountain biking, backcountry skiing and fly fishing. Look for them online or at the Gunnison and Crested Butte Farmers Markets.

Jeff Dautrich creates jewelry using a combination of precious and semi-precious stones, precious metals, Swarovski crystal, and ethnic beads and baubles and takes his inspiration from the beauty and patterns he finds in nature on his many outdoor adventures. He has lived in the Crested Butte area since 1985 and was a Paragon Gallery Member from 1991 to 2021. Some of my work can be seen at the CB Museum and sometimes as a Paragon Guest artist.
