Adam Grinovich Combines Technology and Traditional Jewelry Design

Meet Adam Grinovich, Penland Resident Artist.

Hello, I’m Adam Grinovich. I am a Penland Resident Artist and am participating in the one-year residency.

I work with jewelry and metalsmithing, incorporating emerging technologies such as 3-D printing with traditional metalworking techniques. I’m fascinated by contemporary adornment, streetwear culture, video game design, as well the related fields of craft and design.

During my time at Penland I plan to further develop the connections between technology and craft and develop a collaborative series with my partner and fellow resident artist Annika Pettersson.

For the past 5 years, I have been working as a full-time educator on a college level and have recently decided to transition back into a studio practice. Penland has given me the amazing opportunity to realize this goal by providing support and community during this one-year period.

I invite you to check out what I’m working on in the studio at any point during the residency and be sure to find me at the Penland Resident Artist open studios at The Barns that occur twice a month.
