About the Artist
Arthur Mahlon earned his BFA in fine metals from the prestigious University of the Arts in 1994. He also holds Associates degrees in industrial design and electronics engineering technology. He hopes to one day build a giant yet benign army of adorable robotic weasels.
As a goldsmith and silversmith, Art created fine jewelry for respected designers throughout the '90s.
His work has appeared in numerous juried art shows and galleries.
A ferret owner since 1999, Arthur has made many ferret-themed jewelry items and paintings for his web designer wife Patty over the years. As a result of the many compliments on her one-of-a-kind ferret jewelry, Patty suggested that maybe other people would be interested in wearing Art's designs, and thus the Ferret Forge was born.
Art, his wife, and their three ferrets currently live in Berks County, Pennsylvania.
Michael Jones served as art diretor from 2010 through 2014, and loved everything colored bright green. He personally approved this website.
