Oropopo

A husband / wife team primarily working with 3D printed, laser cut, digitally printed jewelry and textiles in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Wherever possible we source local shops, materials and knowledge. Karole's professional background is in architecture and engineering. Her life experience is a "mescolanza" gathered in the coast of Venezuela, the hustle and bustle of Brazil, a persistent Lithuanian heritage, the easy life of Northern California and the relentless horizon of the American Southwest - the latter revealing a process deeply rooted to place. By refining a narrative that Karole develops with her husband, Grady - a fiction writer born and raised in New Mexico - they combine site and culture with contemporary technology to create intimate objects for daily use.
