Meet the artist
Andrew Hancock is an accomplished alpine skier and talented silversmith who was born and raised in Aspen, Colorado. Growing up next to world-class ski terrain, Andrew spent more of his childhood in ski boots than in sneakers. Having conquered Aspen Mountain at just three years old, Andrew continued to hone his talents on the race course and eventually competed at the Division I level. Despite his athletic commitments, Andrew has always made time for his creative endeavors. Be it photography or silversmithing, Andrew brings the same great attention to detail and dedication to his artistry as his sports. After a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) in New York andrew was so inspired by some of the ancient metalwork work, that he decided to give it a try. Since then he has been self-taught and is continuing to improve his technique and innovate. Hancock Designs was born of Andrew’s passion for working with silver and creating beautiful and unique pieces. Each Hancock creation not only showcases his profound understanding of the metal and techniques involved but also his deeply creative mind.
