Featuring


Ms. Ronda Coryell
 
Ronda Coryell is a Master Goldsmith specializing in ancient granulation techniques. She is the Studio Director and Faculty of Revere Academy in San Francisco. She won the 2002 Saul Bell Award for Silver.

/P> Ronda states "Creating objects of beauty inspired by ancient techniques and the magic of metal is my passion. I find creating jewelry so exciting that sharing and teaching have become as important to me as creating itself. Through teaching I am continually being challenged to interpret the mysteries of metal; inspiring for many a whole new respect and awe for this medium."
