June 4th at the Textile Center

Jennifer’s obsession with beads and other shiny objects began in 1999. Having settled professionally into the world of business communications after initially pursuing studies in graphic design, it was only a matter of time before her need to create would emerge. What began as a “quick visit” to the local bead store turned into a bit of an obsession, and in the years since, she has explored a variety of jewelry-making techniques from bead weaving to basic metal work and fine silver fusing.

Jennifer continued her journey into the world of Metal Clay in 2009 and received her certification from Rio Grande in May of that year. Since then, she has taught several introductory classes at The Studio at Rush Creek in PMC Silver Clay and more recently has ventured into the world of PMC Copper and Bronze clays as well.

Looking ahead, Jennifer plans to continue to teach as her schedule permits and is very much looking forward to improving her own techniques and skill set as well as working with the new PMC Sterling clay.
