I have been making jewelry and learning new jewelry making techniques for many years now. It's sort of an obession. I started out stringing beads to working with chain and now I am making rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces with sterling silver or fine silver. I would love to learn metalsmithing techniques in the future so I can round out my jewelry making abilities. I haven't even scratched the surface on working with metals.
During the years, I have met many wonderful people and developed lifelong friendships with them. They have inspired me and challenged me to learn new jewelry making techniques as well as encouraged and supported me in all my endeavors. I would not have learned as much as I have about making jewelry if not for the women of "The Art of Beads", a group of ladies around the USA who are very diverse and generous with their time and knowledge.
I have been working with PMC for about 5 years now and am certified to teach it. I have taught many students in jewelry workshops or at home parties on a variety of beading and wire techniques.
If you are interested in any of the jewelry you see on this site, please do not hesitate to contact me at (650) 814-7438 or via email at kanbeads@gmail.com.
