Like the fragmented pieces of early designs buried away in a shoebox, jeweler Corkie Bolton hid the pain of her youth behind the veneers of addiction. She sold off all of her jewelry-making tools to a support an addiction that concealed a hard-earned degree in metalsmithing from the Pratt Institute. But she kept her senior project, a mailbox with a personal inscription, I dreamed, laughed, worked, learned, yelled, cried, grew here. Today, the voice behind growing Instagram community Metalsmith Society, Corkie displays the mailbox above her studio bench as a reminder of how far she has come. Corkie joins host Courtney Gray to share her intimate path of addiction, sobriety, second chances, true love and the opportunity to open oneself up to dreaming once more.
