Formerly known as Angband Creative, Ang dabbles in everything from writing, sewing, drawing,enameling, and even Byzantine icon painting. After expanding into the copper jewelry business, it was decided a more elegant name was needed, hence Brackish Baroness was born! The name of the shop comes from her use of an alligator as heraldry in a medieval reenactment society, in which she holds the title of baroness. We're only slightly salty here, hence, brackish. ;)

The shop expanded into 3D printing in 2020 when a friend from New York sent files for dumpster fire ornaments in order to help with their insane workload, and our machines haven't slowed down since.

Angela married Jeffery in 2014, and the Navy has taken them from Connecticut, to New Hampshire, to California, to Florida, and now Virginia. They try to show up at local craft events when there's a lack of pandemic.
