My Story
Hello, I am Kendra, the owner and designer of The Bent Alkhemist. I spend my days in my Iowa studio, creating one of a kind jewelry that will inspire love and peace within yourself. Each piece that leaves my studio is filled with intention and meaning.
I started making jewelry at an early age. After many years of creating beaded and filigree jewelry, I decided to take a silversmithing class to expand my skills. I learned a great deal about textures, metals and jewelry design. Before I knew it I was selling at fine arts shows as well as designing and creating jewelry for friends and family.
I am constantly learning new skills and new ways of working with metal, forever expanding my knowledge and love of jewelry. I am inspired by the world around me, ancient jewelry techniques, the natural beauty of the earth and organic designs found in nature.
I thank you in advance for supporting individual artisans that create handmade products. My hope is that you will enjoy wearing my art as much as I enjoyed creating it.
Thanks for visiting!
Kendra Brockmann
