MassArt alumna, Corrina Sephora, (BFA, Metals and Sculpture) was recently profiled by the Jewish Times for her accolades in metalwork and blacksmithing. Also known for her messaged paintings, Sephora creates astral imagery with textures from remnants. Her collections include the out-of-the-box “The Alchemical Divide,” “Blood of the Earth,” “Dreamscapes,” and “Between the Deep Blue Sea and the Universe.” Her work sells from $50 to $200,000 and resides in collections from Elton John and Jane Fonda to Temple Sinai and the Atlanta Jewish Academy. “As a sculptor, blacksmith welding is a process I use. In my 20’s, I was a certified welder. I worked at a shop with over 200 employees as the first and only woman ever hired as a welder.”

Art students give old jewelry a major makeover
- MassArt in the Media
- Jewelry and Metalsmithing
A special program to repurpose old jewelry brought together students and faculty from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, North Bennet Street School, and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University this fall semester.
Called Radical Jewelry Makeover, the collaborative program brings awareness to using recycled materials and gemstones to create new jewelry.
Emily Cobb, a professor at MassArt in jewelry and metalsmithing, began teaching the course in collaboration with SMFA Tufts professor Tanya Crane this year. Between the institutions, 22 students enrolled in the course to learn how to create jewelry ethically.
