# Bob Winston — Silversmith

Bob Winston was a Phoenix-based silversmith whose work and criticism were sought out by Charles Loloma during his formative period as a jeweler. Wright's Hopi Silver documents that when Loloma was developing his silverwork in Phoenix, "he often sought the advice and criticism of Fred Sharp, Bob Winston, and Morris Robinson about his jewelry."

This corpus reference places Winston in the Phoenix modernist jewelry scene of the 1950s alongside Fred Sharp and Morris Robinson (Talawytewa), both documented Hopi silversmiths. Winston's specific heritage and dates are not given in the corpus examined; heritage is recorded here as unknown per source constraints.

No dedicated Hougart hallmark entry for Bob Winston has been located in the corpus. This entry is sourced from the Wright reference only.
