CRAIG WICKHAM
 

A native of Southern California, Craig Wickham started casting metals as an industrial arts major in 1972. His interests led him to a precision casting curriculum where he mastered the art of lost-wax casting and perfected his talent for jewelry creations. Most of Craig's designs are ocean-oriented, using freshwater pearls, gemstones and gold to accent the beauty of whales and dolphins. His work includes pendants, necklaces, rings, bracelets and other items that have been sold in shops in California and Hawaii. He has participated in the Catalina Festival of the Arts for many years, as well as other juried art shows in Southern California, including the Contemporary Crafts Market in Santa Monica and the Beverly Hills Affair in the Gardens. Craig is also a subcontractor of small sculpture pieces for several Southern California art foundries and various movie studios.
