Logan Leggs‘ work is a love song to rocks personally searched for and collected in his travels across America. First trained as a musician, in California he found a new passion as a rock climber and collector in the southern California desert. He met an artist in Central California, a connection that led to fashioning Tokens of Inspiration necklaces to give to strangers. This experience began his commitment to art cooperatives and a philosophy of giftivism. He developed a talent for wire wrapping, a technique similar to basket weaving but with metal, and his love of art met his love of rocks. He returned to Hilton Head Island and began Logan Leggs Designs, where he cuts, shapes and polishes his own stones and makes intricate chains by hand to create one-of-a-kind custom pieces. His studio is located inside of BO ART, a local collaborative studio and makers’ space on the south end, and his line is showcased at J Costello Gallery.
