Inisona

Inisona is a collection of high-quality porcelain and sterling silver jewelry. Each piece of porcelain is carefully formed by hand and fired in a kiln to over 2200°F. The silver components are then pierced, filed, sanded, and soldered into position around the fired ceramics. Cleveland based artist Tanya Anne Long is the sole artist and designer behind Inisona. She received her MFA in ceramics from Cranbrook Academy of Art and her BFA from Pratt Institute. She has spent the last decade working in ceramics studios around the world, continuously developing her jewelry practice alongside her sculpture practice. In the three years she has been living in Cleveland, she has taught ceramics at the Cleveland Institute of Art, the University of Akron, Beck Center for the Arts, and Orange Art Center. Her aim for Inisona is to translate the joy she finds through making into tiny wearable works of art that others can enjoy for a lifetime.
