i Fine Italian Dining in a Casual Atmosphere S RISTORANTE came up with his approach after being married to a wool weaver who was raising sheep. "I'm primarily a gold- smith, but I have been doing some work with black pearls and occasional stones." Golder became interested in mak- ing jewelry while taking college classes in a variety of curriculums from pre- med to industrial design. "My grandfather had a jewelry store in Florida, and I hung around and absorbed everything," recalls the artist, whose work has been shown at a sub- urban Detroit gallery. "When I got to college, I did some casting, and that began my jewelry career 30 years ago." Although Judaica is not part of the jewelry cache he will be bringing to Birmingham, Golder has accepted Judaica projects, including a Torah pointer for the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati and a container for spices inhaled during Havdala services at the close of Sabbath. "A lot of people ask me if I changed my name because of my profession, but it's the same last name my grandfa- ther had in Russia," the artist reveals. "The language he spoke did not con- nect that word to gold as a metal." ❑ FREE CARNATION FOR MOM N MOTHER'S DAY Park, Royal Oak (248) 544 6680 July 8-10 --- Village Art Festival Farmington Hills Founders Festival Downtown Farmington (248) 474-3440, Ext. 23 July 19-22 -- Ann Arbor Art Fairs City of Ann Arbor (800) 888-9487 Aug. 4-6 — Dearborn Homecoming Art Fair City of Dearborn/ Dearborn Arts Council Ford Field, Dearborn (313) 943-3095 All pasta dinner entrees come with all the above pasta side dish.
