Warped Studio (.metal.art) is a weaver and metalsmith. Stop by this incredible booth to see handmade bags, pillows, rugs and more, as well as jewelry made with sea glass and beach stones. We were very intrigued by the Japanese process of Mokune Gane to laminate different types of metals together to make these striking rings.
