Class Descriptions
Since 2002, Vincent Wil Hawley has been creating unique pieces of metal sculpture and jewelry. Having received his BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, he went on to graduate from the Gemological Institute of America in Italy as well as apprenticing in Florence, Italy. His work is produced with classic hand tools taking countless hours to create. Vincent’s pieces incorporate some of jewelry and metalsmithing’s most challenging and classical practices including hand engraving and traditional raising/forming techniques; a truly historical art form passed through the generations. Using these tools, Vincent’s art incorporates extremely complex forms and techniques. His current work focuses on his classical Silversmith training involving intricate traditional raising techniques in conjunction with Korean finishing details. Vincent currently works out of his studio in NYC and continues to travel to Florence to teach.
