Betsy Frost

CLICK TO ENLARGE

Betsy Frost’s style reflects her love of dance and movement (she has toured the world as a dancer for “Up with People.”) She strives for fluidity in her work, and will “reinvent a shape” by giving it movement with links or hinges. Her designs have a Scandinavian feel, since she once studied silversmithing in Sweden. She also draws inspiration from everyday life: when talking to another person, she may focus on the wallpaper patterns or designs in a carpet, trying to envision the shapes as beautiful pieces of jewelry,

Betsy earned a BA in Metals from Massachusetts College of Art after leaving a graduate program in counseling psychology. She works primarily in sterling silver, and her pieces are either fabricated from sheet into hollow form or cast through the lost-wax process.

Betsy Frost lives in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
