Soul of Somanya: One Artist’s Journey
Meet Wirework Artist Melody MacDuffee
As Melody was unable to join us in person, she generously gave permission for BAA to share the recording of a recent talk she gave at another local art group. Because Melody’s story is so fascinating we asked if we could share her talk during the BAA 10th Anniversary Celebration month. Although the focus here is on bead making, Melody’s story is really about an artist who had an epiphany about sharing her skills.
Melody is the author of four books and five wire-work booklets. She has taught her distinctive jewelry-making techniques all over the U.S. and as far away as Morocco and West Africa. She is also the co-founder and director of Soul of Somanya, https://www.soulofsomanya.net, a fair-trade non-profit that offers paid training and steady, living wage employment to disadvantaged Ghanaian artisans.
Please RSVP if you are interested in joining us for this virtual talk next Wednesday. A link will be sent Wednesday at noon.
