Kenneth Pillsworth's interest in the arts began very early on. Kenneth began his very first jewelry apprenticeship with renowned jeweler William Scholl in 1987. Kenneth's time with William would set the precedent for his interests and expectations for this medium. It was this experience in hindsight that would lay the foundation for Kenneth's career as a jeweler.
Kenneth Pillsworth's motivation stems from a strong technical background and the desire to create work that is simple and innovative. The inspiration for the layering of such unconventional materials comes from the desire to create many compositions in color, shape and texture in a simple form. The use of rivets and other cold connections server a dual role, as both an integral design element as well as performing a simple function.
