Sheryl Oppenheim

Sheryl Oppenheim


Sheryl Oppenheim was raised in Orlando, Florida and currently lives and works in New York City. She is a painter who began to learn the craft of marbling after encountering marbled papers at her first job in New York, at a bookbinding supply house. Her books of marbled paper are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Watson Library, the New York Public Library, the Walker Art Center, the Kohler Art Library and the Brooklyn Museum. Her work has recently been exhibited at the Cranbrook Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Small Editions, as well as galleries in New York, Los Angeles, Oakland and Paris. She received a BA from Brandeis University and an MFA from Temple University's Tyler School of Art.

She then moved into learning how to make silver jewelry by taking Jewelry I three times! When she took her first Precious Metal Clay course at 92NY after retiring from the business world, she found her bliss. While not abandoning her other jewelry-making pursuits, she began studying silver clay in earnest. She is certified as an Instructor in both Art Clay and PMC.
She has studied with notable silver clay artists such as Lis-el Crowley, co-founder of AMCAW, of which she is also a member. As well as Pat Lillie at the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts, Cathy Flesher who is a presenter and teacher at this year’s MCAS conference in August 2023 at the Sawtooth School of the Arts, Lyle Rayfield, Donna Lewis, and Katie Baum, the owner of Art Clay World. She is also a member of the International Polymer Clay Association. Donna loves to teach – both children and adults – and loves to combine many disciplines. She is now experimenting with combining silver clay with polymer clay.
