Jenna Wainwright Fennell and Andy Fennell, the couple behind East Camp Goods, are metalsmiths based in upstate New York. Jenna is a classically trained goldsmith, who learned the fundamentals of metalsmithing at RISD while an undergraduate at Brown University. Andy is a skilled builder with a BFA in Sculpture from SUNY Purchase, well versed in metal forging at a large and small scale. Their jewelry designs are strongly influenced by their experiences working intimately with objects in the underground workshops of the Metropolitan Museum of Art - as a mount-maker and a crate-builder. They also share a love of history which informs their work - Andy has a deep interest in archaeology and anthropology, and in his spare time he can be found restoring old houses. Jenna holds a Masters in Decorative Arts, Design History, Material Culture; her thesis focused on the role of nostalgia in the experience of objects, a fitting companion to her sentimental views on jewelry and jewelry wearing.

Together, they share the creative process in designing and making the East Camp Goods jewelry line, creating bold yet delicate sculptural forms, with a finely tuned balance of scale. Working directly with high karat gold, Jenna and Andy melt, hammer, manipulate, and coax forms into shape from sheet and rod. From chain-making to stone-setting, all steps are performed in-house using old world goldsmithing techniques.
