About

What started as a personal mantra: “Void to Form, a Dream Withal” is a poem that attempts to set as much as possible into a concise statement. Ren Patch, the founder of VTF, started his career in jewelry as a teenager in an apprenticeship with his father, who is a Master jeweler. Working in the fine jewelry repair industry for several years, he gained knowledge and skills regarding the mechanical and technical aspects of jewelry craftsmanship. While working, he has always made his own jewelry designs on the side, and dreamed of making this passion into his own business. In 2014 that passion was focused into buying tools for a home studio and establishing Void to Form, Eventually after moving to a small town in Montana and finding little work, he participated in the local farmers market and a year later started renting a small corner shop in downtown Hamilton where he based VTF out of for three years. Now he makes everything in the peace and solitude of his studio setup in his house in Salem Oregon. The jewelry Ren creates is "Molten Made", which defined by him means; “I, the craftsman who created this jewelry, follows the tenant that I must have witnessed the metal in its molten form”. Believing in a quality that can only be found in the process, Ren hopes to craft Jewelry that forges a connection and makes a statement with the identity of its wearer.
