Julie Shaffer Named ArtCOZ Artist of the Month

ZANESVILLE, OH – Julie Shaffer has been named the ArtCOZ Artist of the Month for September.

Shaffer began creating pieces of jewelry from vintage spoons when she couldn’t find something she liked from a regular store.

She says she purchased her first spoon ring at a market and the rest was history.

“I was looking for a ring, a specific ring, and I didn’t know what I wanted but knew when I would see it.” Shaffer said. “That would be the one and I couldn’t find anything in jewelry stores, so it took me to an antique flea market and there I found a spoon ring.”

Shaffer will be set up at Julie’s ARTery for the First Friday Artwalk and it’s going to be a full house.

There will be a student show, wheel throwing demonstrations, stain glass demonstrations as well as sign ups for fall classes.

Julie’s ARTery is located at 53 South 7th Street in Downtown Zanesville.
