TEDDY IRWIN is a jewelry artist based in Philadelphia, PA who creates sculptural objects that challenge our ordinary expressions of interactive and wearable designs into unexpected experiences for the body. His works include experimental and sculptural models in addition to traditional styles of jewelry. Most commonly, his practice involves working with metals and computer-aided design/manufacturing processes while incorporating cast and three-dimensional printed parts.
Currently, Teddy works as a bench jeweler for Blood Milk Jewels in Philadelphia. He is also an independent contractor for CHRISHABANA in New York City, 3D modeling wearable objects for musical talents and performance artists.
Teddy has taught young artists as an art teaching assistant at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, PA and as a gallery teacher at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In February of 2024, his work was exhibited at Munich Jewelry Week in a collaborative student exhibition by four schools across the US.
In 2022, he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in metals, jewelry, and CAD/CAM at Tyler School of Art & Architecture.
