Feral Blue is a one-woman show based mostly in Richmond, Virginia. Over the years you could find me working on the road at events, in community jewelry studios, or out of my ‘95 Econoline Camper Van in other parts of the country.
Working with metal is in my blood. Machinists. Welders. Steel mill workers. I started as a silversmith because metal felt like a timeless way to tell a story. I stuck with it because it kept revealing more. What began as adornment evolved into something deeper—objects, insights, and strategies that help people find their own rhythm and live by it.
For almost a decade I’ve been teaching silversmithing classes to adults at The Visual Arts Center of Richmond. I didn’t expect to love teaching as much as I do. Sharing what I know and helping others find clarity caused me to examine my methods. The more I taught, the more I noticed that the tools I used outside the studio—astrology charts, creative systems, planners—were just as valuable as the ones on my bench.
Currently, I’m giving my body a break and am on hiatus from making production jewelry work. I’m taking on limited, meaningful custom pieces during this time. Today, Feral Blue is a home for symbolic design, creative insight, and practical strategy.
I provide tools and insights for creative people ready to build a life and business in sync with their own rhythm.
Here’s what I offer:
Creative Consulting - Strategy sessions and accountability to help you shape your ideas into real projects.
Personal Insight - Astrology readings to understand your timing and inner workings in order to make decisions with confidence.
Ritual Tools - Planners, calendars, sheets, etc. structured for creative people to stay organized.
Active Adornments - Custom pieces that remind you of your purpose every day.
Field Notes - Writings and reflections.
As a creative person, wrangling yourself can be tough. The key is to find your rhythm and design your business around it. When you’re ready to align your creative work with who you really are, I’d love to help. I strive to offer different financial levels of assistance—poke around and see what resonates.
