Tomas Wittelsbach was a sculptor before he was a jeweler. At age 9 he built micro-worlds within repurposed baby food jars. He then spent most of his adult career creating movie sets—for Batman and Robin, he and his team had 8 days to produce 22-foot sculptures. Today, Tomas applies digital sculpting to jewelry design. As a ZBrush pioneer and instructor he helps students discover the intersections between mechanics and meaning. Courtney caught up with him at the Portland Jewelry Symposium, where they discussed art and craft, pushiness and confidence, and finding your voice.
