Nell Smith Chandler
Jewelry making
Nell started her career as a painter and print maker. Then one day her friend gave her a gift of a beginning jewelry class. She fell in love with metal in the very first class. As the class rolled along her teacher suggested that she incorporate her painting and printmaking into her jewelry. And that is what she has done.
She works in sterling and brass and copper and semi precious stones. She etches and paints on her jewelry with acrylic paint and pearlescent ink set in clear resin. She has recently learned to torch enamel which also has the feeling of painting to her.
She participates in craft shows, does wholesale and consignment shops and galleries and is a member in a couple of guilds. She is also a co-owner of The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts, a cooperative, in Hillsborough NC.
