Artist Spotlight - Tobias Jewelry
INTRODUCING BRITTA McKee of TOBIAS JEWELRY!
She's been a KCETSYTEAM member since 2009. Her jewelry is
amazing, original and affordable. She makes a wide variety of pieces, yet each
has her personal and unique style. Check out her shop!
Why and how did you start creating?
Throughout my childhood years I was always drawing,
coloring, and creating different things. I have quite the Crayola selection and
it’s still growing! When I started jewelry it was my junior year of High
School. In my art class we had the option to do a jewelry project, since I was
in an advanced class. So I thought I would take a shot at it. The only
materials we had for creating jewelry pieces was the clay that was baked in a
toaster oven. I made some beads and strung them on fishing line. Then I went to
Hobby Lobby and purchased some things. Needless to say, it wasn’t that pretty.
I then created a few pieces for my prom dress. They weren’t bad-but still not
great.
When I was a freshman at KU, my initial degree was Graphic
Design. Then I moved to Interior Design and I was set on that. I would always
draw up floor plans when rearranging my room as a kid. But I mostly wanted to
become an Interior Designer because my brother was an Architect and I thought
it would be awesome to work with him.
I then took a
beginning Metals class and fell in love. I thought I would be able to handle
both majors. After a semester of metals classes I realized Interiors wasn’t for
me so I dropped being a double major and stuck with Metals. I graduated from
the University of Kansas in May of 2009 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Metal
Smithing and Jewelry! After I graduated
I was working on building my studio. I was already selling a few things.
I was accepted to place my work in the Lawrence Art Center Gallery shop, which
sold one of my pieces created during my Mechanism class at KU.
I have been solid
with my business since June 2010.
