Luke Towne

Luke Towne is a hand-crafted jewelry maker in Clinton, working between traditional silversmithing and sculptural forms. He works intuitively with his materials, drawing on the poetry of his surroundings to make pieces that look simple but turn out to be complex up close. His jewelry is made one piece at a time.

His studio is open to visitors on set days each week, and it holds an ever-growing selection of his work. It’s a good stop for anyone who wants a piece made by one person’s hands instead of by a factory. Clinton, home to Hamilton College, is an easy village to explore on foot.
