lV1inds meet in a s'ingular s atement of metall and glass

by Ann Dee Allen,

When you meet Dora Schubert and Elizabeth Prior you quickly realize that their collaboration on Dora's new collection of jewelry isn't all about the finished pieces. It's about a passion for larnpworking and design and a spirited collegiality.

lim ked things I, could do in JUSt s dar or ! \VO, I was able w ceme up with a concept for a finishe'd piece .. Ever since then, I've always worked that war."

"Me, too!" Dora 5ays. "For Inc it was \',ery imporram to beg,in with" drawing and finish that piece." Dora now creates the cabochons for each of her neck laces in one larnpwork in~ session. "P~m of i1 is an obsession I have. '\X/hefl I discover something new, I i usr 'work ar it unril I exhaust all pos1$il;.il.itics," she says.

Elizabeth offered her skms Several studenrs trom Kristina's class gO! rogerher again for a week in March 2Q06 :u Penland School of CI":1.f['S' bead

Elizabeth's amusement stemmed from tin cxpeeiment of Dora's in which Dora had glued a cabochon onto a rnctnl dns form, Dorn recalls, 1<lII£hing= "11 Elizal)crhl looked ar ir and said,,"YoLl know what, OOi'<l.

Dora returned home to B5mscn, Germany, and immediately sent 1110r~' rhan 'IWO dozen glass cabccaoes to Elizabeth, 'who scr m work in her South Portland, Maine .. studio, Silt: scanned some skerchesand e-IIlJiI e d rhemio Dora. Their ideas clicked,

The mo r lmporranr ':011 iderat ion for "li7...1bcrh i. rhar the finished jt"welr:.' is technically sound. \Vhelll she receives the cabcehons rom Dora, Iii.' curs the silver (()r the bezels and 111:.1 rks rhem wirh a numberi I1g sy 'em (or each cabochon, he solder C\'Cr)' bezel ~JUc) a ba '.1:' :\I~J sets the cabochon.
