Emily Cobb is a jewelry maker, designer, educator and enthusiast currently living in Northern California. She received her Master of Fine Arts in Metals/Jewelry/CAD-CAM from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, and she combines both metalworking and digital fabrication techniques to create her jewelry. Her work has been featured on the cover of Metalsmith Magazine and Metalsmith Tech, and has been exhibited in museums such as the Racine Art Museum, Bellevue Arts Museum, and HOW Art Museum. Emily is also a founding member of JV Collective, a collaborative jewelry group that formed in South Philadelphia in 2016. In 2017, she accepted a full-time assistant professor position in the Jewelry and Small Metals area at Humboldt State University.
Emily’s most recent jewelry pieces are inspired by the physical and psychological change that occurs with the passing of time. By imagining another reality in which animals show signs of aging in unusual ways, she explores both the appealing and destructive results of this process.
