Often his pieces provide a dynamic centerpiece for Lynne&#8217;s jewelry.<\/p>\n<p>Lynne and Mark are members of the esteemed Southern Highland Craft Guild. They have spent most of their lives creating art.<\/p>\n<p>Lynne earned a Fine Arts degree, worked as a portrait artist, an art teacher, a professional photographer and more. In 2007 she discovered peyote-stitch weaving to be her most fulfilling artistic expression and has been passionately beading ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Mark has worked with jewelers, potters, and glass blowers. Seven years ago he fell in love with a medium that takes a special precious metal clay (PMC), which he works then kiln-fires at 1250 degrees or more, burning away the clay to unveil pure precious silver or other metals within.<\/p>\n<p>You can contact them to discuss the possibility of custom jewelry incorporating your own special mementos or treasures into necklaces, bracelets, or earrings.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Traub and Lynne Fiorenza<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:lynne@lynnefiorenzajewelry.com\">lynne@lynnefiorenzajewelry.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/lynnefiorenzajewelry.com\">lynnefiorenzajewelry.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lynne and Mark are a wife and husband jewelry-making team imported over a decade ago from New York to Asheville, North Carolina, where they fit in like they were born here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1327,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[179],"project_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1322","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-jewelry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.number7arts.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.number7arts.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.number7arts.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.number7arts.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.number7arts.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1322"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.number7arts.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1322\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1574,"href":"https:\/\/www.number7arts.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1322\/revisions\/1574"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.number7arts.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.number7arts.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.number7arts.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=1322"},{"taxonomy":"project_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.number7arts.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_tag?post=1322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
