Title
Gold cat and animal jewelry designer of national renown
Description
Those familiar with Jack Slack (aka catfella) are readily aware of his love of animals. He has surrounded himself with them all his life and has devoted much of his professional 55 year career as a sculptor to carving animal figures in many mediums before adding gold to the list. He is an accomplished wood and stone carver of the old mallet & chisel variety, seldom using sketches and almost always using live models or his vivid imagination. He founded Designs By Slack Inc. 30 years ago as a manufacturing operation for the trade, specializing in gold animal jewelry sold nationwide and internationally to fine jewelry stores. He personally carves all the original designs for the line.
He became an intrepid adventurer early in life, traveling around the Atlantic and Caribbean on skin-diving and windsurfing expeditions. He has been a champion skin diver and scuba instructor, shark diver as well as an experienced cruising sailor. He is a Korean vet and was also part of the European Occupation Forces. After college, and earning his degrees in geography and geology, with special studies on climatology and the Soviet Union, he lived and cruised in the Bahamas on his sailboat and during this period he discovered a sunken Spanish treasure galleon, the news of which made headlines throughout the world and a cover story in Look magazine. He is the author of Finders Losers the story of the Lucayan Treasure Find first published in the U.S. by Holt, Rinehart & Winston in 1967, and subsequently published in the United Kingdom by Hutchinson Ltd. where it was chosen as part of the Adventurers Club collection. The story was later (in the 70's) made into a documentary film released in Europe. During his cruising days he was a friend, coach, and diving companion of Jacques Mayol, the famous French skin diver and free dive record holder.
Currently he windsurfs more than he skin-dives and delights in the playful manipulation of his household cats, until they become participating models for his new designs.
