Kaminer Haislip Silversmithing Films

Kaminer Haislip’s silversmithing process and artwork are the focus of an exciting new film series. In five separate films, she demonstrates how she creates her sterling silver bowls and spoons, discusses the inspiration behind her handcrafted hollowware objects, and shows how she draws her original designs before progressing to silver. The five films debuted with her collaborative exhibition Interwoven: The Art of Indigo and Silver with Leigh Magar at Aiken Center for the Arts in historic, downtown Aiken, South Carolina in spring 2023.
