Annette Hatton has worked in metals for over thirty years and is a founding member of The Studio Group. She was a student of master silversmith Ann Orr Morris and has attended workshops at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Penland School of Crafts, Arrowmont, and Wildacres. She has been the recipient of two Georgia Council for the Arts Individual Artist grants.

She regards her jewelry as wearable sculpture, allowing the wearer the opportunity for self-expression. She works mostly in silver, but also in shibu-ichi, niobium, copper, and steel. She considers her pieces -- particularly her pins -- as acts of finding balance between form and function and also within the relationship of their parts, accentuated by extensive use of texturing and often by combining different metals.
