An Arizona native, Hannes started making jewelry in 1974. Hannes Garrett is a true metalsmith at heart; a self taught silversmith, trained blacksmith, certified welder and freelance sculptor. For over 20 years he headed of the Foundries at Cosanti and Arcosanti. Hannes has mastered the technique of lost Styrofoam casting and taught dozens of apprentices the secrets of running a small sand foundry; working as technical advisor on many projects. He has always been partial to the idea of someone forming their own personal connection to a piece of jewelry and likes knowing that each piece becomes a part of his customer’s lives.
