Art comes in many forms. Painting, sculpture, photography. It also include jewelry making and there are those who make a living by hand crafting precious metals into beautiful works of art. Megan Austin is one of those artists. She has a studio set up in her home in Canton where she polishes stones, fires glass and molds precious metal into beautiful pendants, necklaces, cufflinks, and bracelets. Megan is relatively new to the art festival circuit but has been making great strides into becoming a jewelry powerhouse. I had the opportunity to hang out with Megan as she crafted different pieces together. It was a lot of fun!
