Tactile Melodies

Chelsea Jones is now in her third year of being an artisan for Art and Soul. She is a gifted jewelry maker. She is so excited to be back at the show this year. She always has a blast.

When asked how she got started Chelsea shared that she started making jewelry during high school as a hobby, it allowed her to make personalized gifts for friends and family. Once she began attending IU in order to attain her Art degree she was able to take two years of metalsmithing and jewelry design. She began her business three years ago and hasn't looked back.

Her current favorite pieces are the constellation series. They're simple, quirky, and classy and remind her of stargazing in the country on a warm summer night. She researched many constellations to find which would best translate to pendants. Along the way she had a lot of fun learning many "cool" facts.

So, if you'd like to see more of Chelsea's creations, stop by her booth at Art and Soul on Saturday, November 17, from 10-3 at Chapman's.
