Kaska Firor

Kaska Firor is a jewelry artist, author, and an educator.  She has been working with wire for over 23 years and is a recipient of many awards for her intricately woven jewelry. Among others she is a two-time 1^st place winner in the wire category in Bead Dreams Competition at the Bead and Button Show.

Kaska is the author and co-author of two books, Freeform Wire Woven Jewelry and Wire & Fire.  Her work has also been published in several other books and trade magazines such as Art Jewelry, Step-By-Step Wire, Bead Style, Lapidary Journal and SNAG’s Jewelry and Metalsmithing Survey.

In the last couple of years, Kaska has returned to one of her passions, making mosaics. She started teaching micro-mosaic jewelry in 2024.  The jewelry community welcomed her new workshops with open arms.  Therefore, she is planning on expanding her teaching schedule and technique repertoire as the enthusiastic mosaic community grows.

Kaska teaches at national conventions, jewelry schools and studios throughout the United States.
