About Me…

Hello. My name is Tammi Sloan and I am the artist and creater of My Brown Wren Jewelry. My love of creating jewelry began in the mid 80’s when I took a metalsmithing and an enameling course with Mary Chuduk at the Tempe Community Center, in Tempe, AZ. I knew from that moment forward that I was destined to be a jewelry artist. It just took me about 25 years to get there.

The inspiration for my silver and enamel jewelry comes from the organic shapes, patterns and textures of nature, by the art of the mid-century period and by the minimalist qualities of Asian art. I love mixing these to create my own take on contemporary silver and enamel jewelry.

I find it most enjoyable to experiment with a combination of mediums to create an eclectic representation of how I see the world.  I love to play with stones and metal pieces I’ve created on my design table, mixing them and drawing shapes on paper and seeing how they all combine together. That play often sparks a new direction in my creative flow. The stones and their unique patterns are also of great inspiration.

In the end, I pride myself on creating beautiful, long lasting jewelry that you will cherish for a lifetime.  For me, it is more important to take my time developing a unique design that you won’t find elsewhere.  Each work of art is a labor of love, wrought by my own hand.  No two pieces are ever exactly alike, and that's the way I like it.

When I’m not creating in the studio or working at my part-time job as an accounts payable specialist for our local school district, I really enjoy creating educational videos and tutorials. It is so much fun to share what I know and to learn from my students. We all have so much to give and that is very humbling.

If you are interested in learning a particular technique, please drop me a line or give me a call. I’d be happy to add it to my list of upcoming videos or written tutorials!

In the near future, I will begin teaching at my studio again. Please sign up for my email list if you are interested in classes. I will be sending out notification when sign ups begin in September (2026).
