Orangeburg native, Tabitha Ott, received her Master of Fine Arts degree in jewelry and metals from Kent State University in 2012, and her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in sculpture: jewelry and metals from Winthrop University in 2008. She is currently a full-time instructor in the Art Department at Claflin University.
Tabitha transforms objects and materials that would normally be thought of as waste into wearable art. By utilizing color, movement, and tactile qualities, she is facilitating a playful interaction between the wearer or viewer and the artwork. It is her goal to create thought-provoking jewelry that challenges and reconfigures viewer stereotypes concerning materials and the function of jewelry. She is a collector of post-consumer objects and is constantly finding beauty in the discarded.
