FAQ

Here you'll find a compiled list of all the need-to-knows about what exactly I do!

  1. Q: You do a lot. Is there anything you don't do? A: I dabble in a lot because I've always had a love for art making. However, jewelry and printmaking are the only media I currently take custom work orders for. 
  2. Q: Do you do repairs? A: I'll repair any of my pieces! Minor repairs are free of charge. Major repairs, such as torn/cut wires will incur a small fee. If damage calls for a new piece but the stone(s) are salvageable, customer will pay an adjusted custom rate to cover time and wire costs only.
  3. Q: Do you do Custom work? A: I do! Please head to the Custom Order tab to learn more
  4. Q: Do you make rings? A: Not yet. I intentionally choose not to make wire wrapped rings because I am working towards an expanded jewelry set up with soldering tools to begin metalsmithing. 
  5. Q: I see a lot of copper jewelry, do you work with other metals? A: I do! I always have sterling silver wire on hand and I can work with 24k Gold upon request. For those that are unfamiliar with the precious metals market, gold is at its highest its been in a long time and the silver average has doubled since I began this journey 8 years ago. 
  6. Q: Do you sell crystals? A: Typically, no. There was a point in time I tried it out but ultimately want to focus on art making rather than being a middle-man. I have been contemplating selling some cabochons though so if you are a person looking for cabochons, please reach out and we can work something out.
  7. Q: Do you have a store front? A: No, however you can shop some of my products at various gift shops around WNY such as Thin Ice and Put A Plant On It both located on Elmwood Ave and conveniently located next door to each other, along with Life is Succulent located on Eggert Road. 
  8. Q: I see on your card you teach classes, where at? A: All over WNY, however I'd like to pivot to a private class style to better suit the needs of learning a new medium. Please head to the Private Classes tab to learn more!
  9. Q: You host markets? A: I do! My partner Liz and I took 2025 off to focus on things happening in our personal lives but are looking forward to return to things for 2026! Our website is still in the works but you can find us on Facebook and Instagram at @strangetimes716 for the meantime! We pride ourselves in focusing on the strange and macabre arts.
