Marraccini Designs

Description

In 1972, 25-year-old Lee Angelo Marraccini accompanied his wife Pam to the art studio in Washington, DC, where she was taking pottery classes. On a whim, he enrolled in a jewelry-making workshop. Within a year he and Pam had left their jobs as high school teachers, outfitted their GMC van with a bed and camp stove, and set out on a road trip through the United States and Mexico, during which Lee met jewelers around the country and refined his technique. In the summer of 1973 the pair landed at the Belles Artes San Miguel de Allende School of Art where, for $32 a month, they enrolled in a bohemian course of study that included drawing, ballet, guitar, and jewelry design.
