Cathryn Jasterzbski

Cathryn Jasterzbski first completed her undergraduate studies at SUNY New Paltz before graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2019 with a Master’s degree in Jewelry and Silversmithing. Additionally, she has worked with master jeweler David Walton, to whom she owes much of her training. Basing her work on the notion of identity, Jasterzbski explores her own roots, being from a working-class environment. Not only does she examine the notion of class, but also the roles associated with gender identity, employing and questioning the ways in which certain processes or materials are traditionally associated with men or women.
