Karen Capobianco is a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design where she studied jewelry making. In her quest find tools her own woven metal and fiber cording lead her to start making her own tools . Soon she was making tools that not only made jewelry cords but could be worn as jewelry. Karen believes you spend time with your tools , they are at the heart of making your craft. Your tools are in your hands for long lengths of time therefore they should be be a a pleasure use.
