S2-03: Matthieu Cheminée, Imprinting Tradition & Technique

Artist, author, educator and Toolbox Initiative cofounder Matthieu Cheminée is a man of many talents, each informed by his first true love, hand stamping. His award-winning designs feature his signature “stampclastic” style, born out of learning experiences with native artists in Taos, New Mexico and Mali in Western Africa. Throughout his world travels, the Parisian-born jeweler developed a deep appreciation for his fellow artisans and their ability to create stunning works using only the most basic of tools. Matthieu joins host Courtney Gray to discuss his passion for preserving these generational traditions and the importance he places on sharing the gifts of knowledge and know-how.
