Evelyn Kline, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Mica Gallery, of Bakersville, presents its newest and youngest artist, Evelyn Kline, who is working to complete a BFA in studio art with a concentration in metalsmithing and jewelry design at Appalachian State University (ASU). She is the daughter of Stacey Lane and potter Michael Kline. Lane is also a jeweler and the manager of community collaboration at Penland School of Craft.<\/p>\n

\u201cKline\u2019s work mixes metals, fabrication methods and enameling,\u201d says Mica artist Lisa Joerling. \u201cHer ideas are youthful, whimsical, kitschy and pop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kline began experimenting with metal while in high school, taking her first metalsmithing class at ASU. Seeing her daughter grow into art has been satisfying for Lane, who introduced her to Shrinky Dinks, a creative playset she had discovered in her own childhood. \u201cI think that is the first jewelry I remember her making,\u201d Lane says. \u201cShe would make drawings of fruit, animals or other little objects and I would bend wires for them to be earrings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patience and an attention to detail help greatly with jewelry making, and Lane says her daughter exhibits both in her work. \u201cIn all honesty, she surpassed me in skill in many areas years ago,\u201d she says. \u201cThe emphasis of my work is lost-wax casting and I will solder when I have to, but I still don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m that good at it. Evelyn can tackle incredibly complicated soldering jobs with no problem. I also love seeing her work in enamel and how it has brought color into her storytelling in metal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The joy of narrative is something that the mother and daughter artists have in common. \u201cWe both share a love of stories and I think that shows up in each of our jewelry work,\u201d Lane says. \u201cThere is often a narrative quality or backstory to things we make, even if it is not obvious to the viewer. I think we also share an appreciation of a combination of humor and elegance in our work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kline, who also works as a part-time bench jeweler at Foggy Mountain Gem Mine, says the beauty\u2014and humor\u2014of everyday life offer inspiration to her as she creates. \u201cI hope the wearer of my jewelry will feel confident to take on the joyful, playful quality of my characters and illustrations as they carry them out into the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
