Kate Dannenberg is a jeweler and metalsmith living in South Philadelphia. With thoughtful craftsmanship and attention to tactile experience she creates jewelry and objects informed by the visual qualities of the natural world.
Kate is interested in the way we connect and interact with precious and everyday objects—the way these interactions affect both the person and the object. Through her work as teaching artist and curator she strives to uplift the jewelry and craft communities through inclusion, education, and enthusiasm. Kate’s work is made by hand from recycled and responsibly sourced materials.
While maintaining her personal artistic practice Kate is a co-manager of Night Shift Studio, a Metals and Jewelry Cooperative located in South Philadelphia’s Bok Building. Her work was included in The Metal Museum’s exhibition 40 Under 40: The Next Generation Of American Metal Artists in 2019.
