Brandon Prater is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist based in Austin, Texas, who is continuously honing his skills in the unique and lesser-known art form of jewelry making through metal clay sculpting. Utilizing precious metal clay, Brandon crafts intricate, one-of-a-kind pieces that showcase the direct results of his evolving hand-sculpting techniques, imbuing each piece with a sense of intimacy and authenticity.

Drawing inspiration from diverse fields such as sculpting, brutalist architecture, neo-expressionism, and grunge culture, Brandon’s designs reflect an eclectic fusion of artistic influences. His dedication to this innovative art form allows him to challenge conventional jewelry-making norms, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved in wearable art.

Collaborating with talented Texas-based designers and friends like Melissa Taylor, Nico, and SUSH has further enriched Brandon’s creative journey, expanding his artistic horizons and fostering growth in his craft.

With a keen eye for detail and a passion for creating meaningful, evocative pieces, Brandon’s work transcends mere adornment. Through his creations, he seeks to make a contemporary statement, crafting accessories and objects that provoke thought on materialism while emphasizing sincerity and the importance of personal expression.

As an artist and visionary, Brandon Prater’s mission is to redefine the realm of jewelry design, offering exceptional, thought-provoking pieces that inspire conversation and resonate with a discerning audience.
