Friday, October 7, 2016 the Duke of Devonshire, England visited Kaminer Haislip in her silversmithing studio in downtown Charleston, SC.  He was visiting Charleston for the Charleston Heritage Symposium presented by The Preservation Society of Charleston, which was postponed due to hurricane Matthew.

Visit http://www.charlestonheritagesymposium.org for information on the symposium and the future date.

Kaminer would like to thank Courtenay Daniels, Chair of the Charleston Heritage Symposium, for organizing the lovely visit.  Kaminer also thanks the Duke of Devonshire immensely for taking the time to visit her studio and view her silversmithing designs.  It was a pleasure to host him and she thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person.  It was an incredible career highlight!

Kaminer Haislip can create a custom silver Christmas ornament based on the historic building, house or church of your choice!  From an image provided by the client, she renders the building in a line drawing.  The drawing is then transferred to the silver plate, which is available in a round, square, or rectangular shape, and then etched with a chemical.  The chemical creates a texture where the lines are, highlighting the form of the building.

All ornaments are made to order and multiples are an option.  Additionally, the ornaments can be hand engraved with a date or name.

Contact Kaminer Haislip directly for details and pricing.
