She has been featured in several magazines including Southern Distinction, Step-By-Step Wire Jewelry and Bead and Button magazines.

Keith’s interest in jewelry making was sparked by his wife, Jan Jowers-Stephen, after he retired from a career in banking and financial services. He enjoys fold forming, forging, metalsmithing and creating jewelry from reclaimed silverware. He now shares her passion and joins her in teaching and inspiring students. In 2016, Keith and Jan worked together to invent and develop the Wrapsody Silver-Wear Jewelry Press that is used to form silverware into works of jewelry art without annealing.
