Jeff & Myan Sorenson
Dancing Elk Designs, the husband/wife team of Jeff and Myan Sorensen has been creating works of wearable art from naturally shed antler since 1989.
Hiking and searching the hills and backcountry of Colorado and the West provides us with shed antler of Mule Deer and Elk. We supplement what we can gather with sheds of Caribou and Reindeer acquired through careful sourcing.
The designs evolve by means of a creative relationship first with the antler itself, observing what each piece’s best qualities are to be revealed. Shape? Color? Texture? Jeff not only finds the antler, but also takes the first step of cutting and shaping each piece. Myan’s relationship is then with the refined antler piece. The polishing and wire and stone embellishments bridge the piece to make it ready for display.
We see the result of our work as a transformation of an organic gift of Nature to a useful adornment reflecting our values of honoring wildlife and Mother Earth.
