Joshua Marceau is a silversmith and lapidarist originally from the Flathead Indian Reservation in Northwest Montana. He apprenticed and studied with indigenous artist Frank Finley in 2009 to master the traditional craft of silversmithing when he was a tribal college student at Salish Kootenai College.  He subsequently pursued a self-taught path in the arts as he pursued his education at several universities. Joshua has exhibited his work in various galleries from Montana to Arkansas.

Joshua is the owner, artist, and sole craftsman at Native American Silversmith. The jewelry he creates is handmade, and each piece has its own unique character. He handcrafts his art using the highest quality alloys of sterling silver and he prefers to work with genuine gemstones.  Turquoise is a favorite.

Joshua currently resides in Seattle and has painstakingly sought out the best sources of turquoise and other germ stones and developed relationships to purchase the gems directly from the miners. He cuts and polishes the gems from the rough minerals and hand makes each setting from precious (sterling silver or gold). Currently he uses turquoise, opals, coral, jade, lapis, larimar, charoite and other rare minerals with bight bold colors to create jewelry and adornment for men and women.

He has taught several apprentices and occasional studio classes from 2008 until present.  He frequently markets his pieces in Ballard where he has a small studio space. Joshua teaches classes at his workshop and also returns to his reservation during the summer months to host silversmithing demonstrations at the Ninepipes Museum of Early Montana.

All proceeds go towards the United Indians programs and services which support the urban Native community.
