Mechelle Klopper
Amalinda, Eastern Cape. South Africa

I am a wife and mother. My husband has his own business in the IT
industry. I have recently started jewelry making and embroidery and
am enjoying it tremendously. I also enjoy scrapbooking, painting,
decoupage and reading.

Lauren McAdams
Nacogdoches, TX. USA

I am a metals artist who has studied in Kentucky and Arizona. I
recently moved to Nacogdoches, Texas to teach and continue to create
art work. My work is generally sculptural and explores the
traditional metals/jewelry techniques in a repetitive manner that
still addresses the importance of the body. I generally discuss
relationships, communication and endless other issues that come to
me.

Michelle Asher
Moreland Hills, OH. USA

I have been making jewelry on and off for 20 years. I’ve recently
began soddering again, and sell my work in a few local stores.

jewellers.

In 2006 I launched Aquamarine - jewellery inspired by marine

Making Jewelery can be like meditation, while finding ideas all day
around me, by walking with open mind and eyes. Wax modelling is one
of my favorite.
