Wyrding Studios is the brainchild of Kythryne Aisling, an eclectic artist specializing in fine art wire jewelry. Kythryne began selling her jewelry at wearablesculpture.com in 2004, quit her day job in 2005, hired her first employee in 2006, and renamed the business Wyrding Studios in 2007.
Kythryne's partner Amy Linari got involved somewhere along the way (we're still not entirely sure how that happened, but it's worked out just fine), and we have had various and sundry assistants and guest artists over the years.
Our specialty is fine art wire jewelry, but we are branching out into other mediums and art forms: fused dichroic glass, lampwork glass, wands and other ritual tools, and collaborations with visual artists. As artists, we are always learning, experimenting, and exploring new techniques and new materials.
We have grown tremendously over the past few years, but our core values have not changed; we still take great pride in creating high-quality original art at affordable prices while providing outstanding customer service. Simply put, we love what we do.
We are based out of our home in Concord, New Hampshire. Visitors are welcome by appointment.
