Jon Route has been a metalsmith working commercially, academically and independently, for over 45 years. Born in 1954, he received a BS in Art from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and an MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Jon worked in an architectural metals firm and as a jeweler before striking out on his own as an independent craft-artist. He has been invited twice to teach at U-W-Stout, Menomonie, Wisconsin as an adjunct professor and sabbatical replacement and has given many workshops throughout his career on the technical aspects of his craft. He has exhibited his hand constructed vessel forms, teapots and wall pieces at some of the best art/craft festival events in the United States including the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, the American Craft Expo in Evanston, the Philadelphia Craft Show, and the Smithsonian Craft Show. He is a 1998 recipient of a Wisconsin Individual Artist Fellowship and one of his pewter teapots was featured in Metalsmith Magazine’s 2001 “Exhibition in Print”.
Route’s work was chosen in 2001 to be included at the American Craft Museum in New York in an exhibition entitled “Objects for Use: Handmade By Design”, and the accompanying book published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Paul Smith, Director Emeritus, American Craft Museum, and General Editor. In 2006, Jon was invited to participate in an exhibition honoring the 28-year teaching collaboration between Fred Fenster and Eleanor Moty in the University of Wisconsin, Madison Art Metals program, organized by the Chazen Museum of Art, U-W Madison, Wisconsin, and at an exhibition at the West Bend Art Museum entitled “Time For A Nice Cuppa: Wisconsin Teapots”, in West Bend, Wisconsin. In 2009 Jon was invited by the Charles Allis Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to exhibit a retrospective of his work in his first solo museum show entitled, “For the Love of Metal”.

A huge vintage 1960s 70s one of a kind handmade mixed metals (copper, brass) and heavily patinated abstract modernist design cuff bracelet by studio jeweler Lascaux from Quebec, Canada. Entirely handmade no doubt one of a kind creation by a talented designer and craftsman! The copper has a zig zag line of brass/bronze laid overtop, and the copper has been heavily patinated in various colors, and with gold and silver spiderweb lace-like designs in spots! Really quite complex design exquisitely handmade! Measures 2" wide and fits up to a 7" wrist presently, although it could be easily adjusted up a few sizes if desired. Marked at one end, "Lascaux" for the artisan-jeweler from Quebec. There is one spot on the bracelet where the design has cut-thru in a ragged sort of opening. This is original, not damage, and I'm guessing part of the original design (see my closeup photos). A spectacular one of a kind piece of vintage wearable art! Excellent vintage condition.

A very large vintage 1960s 70s one of a kind handmade mixed metals (brass, steel) heavily patinated abstract modernist brutalist pendant by studio jeweler Lascaux from Quebec, Canada. Entirely handmade no doubt one of a kind creation by a talented designer and craftsman! An overall dimensional oval shape that rises outward in steel with an applied figure 8 or infinity symbol inside of which is a splattered-looking brown patina reminiscent of abstract expressionist artworks. Two bronze hoops at top for adding a chain or neckring or a cord! Measures 3.5" tall by 2.5" wide. The hoops at top will accommodate a good-sized chain or neckring up to about 1/4" wide, or just about any fabric cord you like. Marked at back, "Lascaux" for the artisan-jeweler from Quebec. A spectacular one of a kind piece of vintage wearable art! I can provide a fabric cord free of charge if you need one, just let me know when you're making the purchase. Excellent vintage condition.
