Biography Joe Reyes Apodaca Jr. was born in Tucson, Arizona, and was active in Altadena, California, and Lake Oswego, Oregon. Joe Apodaca began making jewelry while still in high school. He remembers thinking “Gosh, this is exactly what I want to do. I want to spend my life doing this.” Lapidary Journal, November 1999 With his wife, Linda, a native Californian, Apodaca had forged an influential career as a teacher and prolific studio jeweler based in the Pacific Northwest. He and Linda collaborate on jewelry and sculptures made of precious metals, steel, and concrete. He established the jewelry program at the Oregon College of Arts and Crafts, leading the students there in workshops until he was ready to devote himself full-time to his studio work. As a young man and with the encouragement of mentors, he was accepted to Rochester Institute of Technology, School for American Craftsmen, majoring in Metals and graduating with his MFA. It was here that he met fellow Metals student, Linda Woltjes. They married in 1967. After teaching stints in Toronto and LA, they moved to Altadena, CA where they set up a studio and started their business. They also expanded their family welcoming Janeen and William. In 1977 they moved to Lake Oswego, Oregon where they built a studio onto their house. Joe became head of the Metals Department at Oregon School of Arts & Crafts (OSAC) from 1980-1986. After that, they worked full time at their business. Over the years they gained a large clientele for their custom-designed jewelry. They also made hollow-ware.

Joe has a candelabra in the Permanent Collection of the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery.
