Cody Hunter has been a silversmith for over 20 years.  His works portray his childhood vision of Navajo life.

He uses a very fine jewelers hand saw, cutting out figures, and then to get a three dimensional effect, he uses an "overlay" process in which he applies three or four layers of sheet silver, brazed together. It's a very labor intensive process. All his metal is either 14 kt gold or sterling silver.

Please check back this summer, when we hope to have pictures available of Cory Hunter's work at the Robert Dean Collection
