Welcome Reception

FLOW Gallery + Workshop | Complimentary

All that glitters is gold… and silver and precious! Join us at FLOW Gallery + Workshop to welcome acclaimed jeweler Mark Lexton. A third-generation artisan, Mark will share the stories behind his heirloom jewelry, all crafted in South Carolina. Inspired by his wife’s equine lifestyle, Mark’s first collection piece – a gold dressage pin – set the stage for a career in fine jewelry. From pins to pendants, Mark’s mastery spans all forms of jewelry. Using a unique carving technique, he creates the negatives of his pieces and then pours precious metals into them to create long-lasting and stunning works. With a lifetime of experience passed down through three generations of jewelers, Mark’s pieces are built to stand the test of time and become precious family heirlooms.
