| Instructor Bio: | Nancy's inspiration comes from texture; natural stones; pearls with unique luster, color and shape; nature; and anything related to the sea, underwater, by the shore, or on the surface. She is motivated to create for women who have multi-faceted lives and make subtle or bold statements with unique jewelry, expressing individuality from ballgame to boardroom and anywhere the evening takes them. Precious Metal Clay is a staple in her creations, providing opportunities for textures and hand carving unavailable with silversmithing techniques. Her journey began with a private class from Bernadette Deneau in Miami, followed by some online classes, a hand carving class with Holly Ginsberg, and Level II PMC Certification obtained at William Holland School. |
