The primary design vocabulary which he employs in the making of jewelry objects combines industrial aesthetics and materials and with evocative romantic themes and imagery. He calls this design system Techno.Romantic¨. Though it is not the only design mode in which he works, it is the one for which he and his work is best known.<br /><br />Thomas Mann lives and works in New Orleans where he oversees a jewelry design and production studio, a sculpture studio, and gallery. He currently exhibits his jewelry and sculpture with some 250 galleries and stores in the US and abroad, and at premier craft events around the US. <br /><br />If you are planning to travel to New Orleans, please visit Thomas Mann Gallery I/O (insight-full objects) at 1812 Magazine (at Felicity).<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2748983116139414436-2814759088547454659?l=artisan-jewelry-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Artisan Jewelrynoreply@blogger.com3
