BRC Pendant

BRC, 2014 Pendant by Thomas Mann.

Christine (Lady Bee) writes, “Karen Christians, co-author of Jewelry of Burning Man, invited Thomas to BRC and he made a bunch of fab pendants. He was at our Makers Reception and was quite impressed with BUrning Man. He’s been around for decades, since the 70’s for sure, and does all cold connections. I love his work! You’ll enjoy perusing his website at https://www.thomasmann.com/ .”

Thomas has a signature use of materials and methods by using laser cutouts of different metals, assembling them in layers and securing them together with cold rivets.

Thomas is a well known maker and this pendant was featured in Museums including the 2018 exhibit No Spectators, The Art of Burning Man at the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery in Washington D.C. (artifact #20) and is published in Karen (Suki) Christians, Christine (Lady Bee) Kristen book, Jewelry of Burning Man. He also wrote the books Forward, p6-7.
