Fred Sharp — Silversmith

Name-card placeholder — hallmark imagery to follow.

Fred Sharp 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 Sharp in the Phoenix modernist jewelry scene alongside Bob Winston and Morris Robinson (Talawytewa), both documented silversmiths active in that circle in the early-to-mid 1950s. Robinson is documented as a Hopi maker; Sharp'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 Fred Sharp has been located in the corpus. This entry is sourced from the Wright reference only.
