Clara Pauline Barck Welles (1869–1965) was an American silversmith who from 1910 was also successful as a suffragist. In 1900, after graduating in decorative design from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she encouraged five of her fellow graduates to join her in creating the Kalo Shop where they produced jewelry, textiles and leather goods. By the late 1930s, she was specializing in silverware, employing 25 silversmiths who were mostly Scandinavian immigrants. Her creations were included in an exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art.
