Birds N Bones

We, Zoe Cope and Ashley Lagasse, met while in a small metals casting class at the Academy of Art University. After realizing each of us had a box of dead things in our lockers, we figured we should probably be friends. As the semester progressed, many of our molds had a similar aesthetic, as that they were almost always of different animal bones and parts. Both of us were usually at the school studio until it closed and the idea of creating a collection together happened organically. Forged in burns, hammered fingers, accidentally melted silver, and late night pizza runs, our budding jewelry skills and friendship grew over four years.
