The late Santiago "Jim"
Herrera, was Arnold Herreras father, teacher, and
mentor. Arnold worked alongside his dad learning the
intricate and intimate knowledge of Herreras
elders. After his fathers death, Arnold was left to
fill numerous orders that his father had not been able to
complete due to illness. Since that time, Arnold has
become an accomplished drum maker and silversmith in his
own right. He is now passing on this extensive art
knowledge and technology to his three sons, Tim, Carlos,
and Thomas. They are learning and making their own styles
of jewelry as well as exploring other forms of
self-expression in wood, clay, metal, and on paper. Read full interview below: |
