SCAM ALERT: We’ve had many reports of scammers impersonating Handmade Arcade and inviting people to apply for markets, book hotel rooms, and more. Please note that official Handmade Arcade communications will only ever come from an email address ending in @handmadearcade.org. Thank you!
I’m Juleann Benkoski; a metalsmith, fiber artist, and owner of jBenkoski Studio. My work explores color, transformation, and the joyful tension between soft and solid materials. Through my Felted Gems jewelry line, I wet-felt merino wool into vivid, gem-like forms, hand-setting (never glued) them in sterling silver and finishing each piece with hand-beaded embellishments. The result is jewelry that is lightweight, bold, and made to last. I continue that exploration of color, texture, and storytelling in my Potion Bottles: whimsical, richly detailed vessels designed to hold personal elements in a way that feels magical and deeply individual. Each bottle invites connection through symbolism, playfulness, and a touch of the witchy elements. At jBenkoski Studio, my motto is: “Beauty is loud. Get loud.†I create wearable art for people who want to surround themselves with color, embrace self-expression, and carry that energy boldly into the world.
