Peter Antor received his MFA in Metal­smithing and Jewelry with a minor in Wood­work­ing from Edin­boro Univer­sity of Penn­syl­va­nia in 2016 and his BFA in Metal­smithing and Jewelry from Grand Valley State Univer­sity in 2011. Peter works with a wide range of mate­ri­als from precious metals to concrete and wood. His body of work ranges from sculp­tural jewelry to func­tional light­ing. Archi­tec­ture has a large influ­ence on his work and designs.

Recently he opened a design and fabri­ca­tion company in Chicago where he creates orig­i­nal and commis­sion-based work. His favorite part of this prac­tice is ideation and the subse­quent problem solving of turning that idea into a tactile piece: first, choos­ing what mate­r­ial would best express the idea, then decid­ing the proper tech­niques and tools to turn the raw mate­r­ial into some­thing beau­ti­ful. Peter’s studio is located in the Mana Contem­po­rary build­ing in the Pilsen neigh­bor­hood of Chicago.
