about

Corey Ackelmire is a metalsmith and educator living in Houston, Texas. She has been a full-time Instructor and Studio Art Program Coordinator at Houston City College since 2010. Recent exhibitions include Designing Motherhood at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft. Ackelmire’s work explores the way objects can recall the emotions of past experiences. Metal objects, from copper pennies to silver spoons, tend to embody opposing qualities, like durability and malleability, the commonplace and the sacred: exploring those relationships is her focus.
