Artist Profile
Brooke Cottrell
Non-Native artist
Before the crab pot jewelry, I was hauling them from the ocean bottom.
Born and raised in Seattle, I spent several years living and working on a crab boat, where I fell in love with life on the water, the ocean, and the almighty Dungeness crab.
These designs are inspired by the commercial crab pots I fished with in Washington, Oregon, and Alaska.
Each piece is handcrafted using traditional filigree techniques, with every wire shaped and placed by hand.
From the crab boat to something you can wear.
