    Sarah Steiner stands as a vibrant testament to the boundless possibilities of musical exploration.

    Hailing from the iconic city of Mozart, Salzburg, her roots are deeply entrenched in the rich soils of classical music. However, Sarah’s artistic journey is anything but conventional. With a spirit that refuses to be confined, she embodies the essence of a musical adventurer, constantly on the quest for new horizons.

    Sarah’s approach to music is characterized by an insatiable curiosity and a fearless willingness to experiment. Her work in the Fish Factory serves as a creative crucible where her classical training and an unbridled passion for innovation converge. Here, she delves into the intricate dance between live music and music production, weaving together diverse genres into a cohesive, vibrant tapestry.

    Thank you Sarah! :)

    Erica Bailey

    Erica Stankwytch Bailey is a jeweler and metalsmith living in Asheville, North Carolina, USA. Erica sees a strong relevance for the smallest things within the larger context. Understanding the elemental building blocks of metals and minerals is the foundation of her jewelry. She interprets and replicates the molecular and crystalline structure of the materials she uses into the structural shapes of her jewelry.

    I used my time at the Fish Factory to return to my design and ideation processes. Spending time in my sketchbook, making paper maquettes and experimenting in metal to explore germinating ideas. Time spent on process rather than product allowed me to explore, experiment and even try my hand at other media. Seeing and feeling the drama of the Icelandic landscape held me in a constant state of wonder and I reveled in the act of trying to interpret it.

    Thank you Erica!
