Fusing and combining these incredible lost arts in nontraditional ways, she creates classic, contemporary, sterling silver jewelry that is rooted in history yet entirely unique. Hill's signature style combines three different techniques, beginning with hand carving using a hammer and chisel, a primitive technique dating back to the Stone Age. Hill then combines the Etruscan technique of granulation with contemporary filigree. It is this juxtaposition that yields such a wonderfully textural and unusual line of wearable art. Hill also holds a strong passion for rare textiles from around the world. Her signature weaving techniques vary in form, yielding tactile bracelets with bold, lateral flexibility and intricate weaving patterns. One such weave is an 18th century continuous wire weave, hand woven from a single wire. This unique art can yield anything from a tiny cufflink or ring to a full-length belt that takes over one month to hand weave. The pattern is precise and the detail magnificent. Another weaving technique with an altogether different flavor originates in India. It is bold and dynamic, consisting of meticulously aligned figure eights of sterling silver. One of Hill¹s most precious weaves is a textile weave in metal originating from hill tribes in Northern Thailand. It is comprised of tiny jump rings woven like a textile and is so intricate that only one inch per day can be hand-woven. The craftsmanship, detail and beauty of Lois Hill creations are unmistakable.
