Brattleboro, VT. (Wcax) – In the small but sun -soaked studio of Alison Corn, creativity is not a shortage.
“Earth, rural,” she says. “I want my jewelry to make sense.”
Below in Brattleboro, Korn turns silver into something special. This is a completely different place from where she was even 15 years ago, she lives in Ecuador while working at an anthropology diploma.
“[I] I decided I was done with the academic circles, it was too much thinking in my head, “she says. “And I decided I just wanted to live my creativity.” Living her creativity meant to make a leap of faith.
“I bought some of the material and decided that if I could make jewelry from this, then I would do it,” Korn explains. She did it and continued to learn what it took to manage a business.
Ten years ago, it was a time to move from the tropics to Vermont’s snow tundra. It was the perfect time to launch Allison Korn Designs, taking advantage of her skills and her style.
“We had to rediscover ourselves anyway,” Corn says.
Now she makes mostly earrings and necklaces. All of her pieces are made in one of the two ways – either traditional metallicment, or by using noble metal clay.
“It feels like clay, but it is made of clean silver particles,” says Korn. “Hit him in the oven and then becomes pure silver.”
It deals with gold, but for its bigger part everything is silver. Regardless of the material, its purpose is to add a little more to everyday life.
“You know, they put it in the morning and feel a little more happier, or more bored, or a little more confident in my day … So I want to do it,” Korn explains.
Despite a large geographical leap, Korn says that the Brattleboro community feel is approximately the same as he was in Ecuador. That is why it is sold on the local farmers market in addition to online. As long as life seems different from this, it is a change that Korn can lag behind.
“There is so much that we have to offer creativity is one of the ways I can bring to the world,” she says. This creativity is formed in Vermont.
