Just want you to know that I have enjoyed all the workshops I've taken, learned a lot, and have been inspired. The only problem is making time to explore. David [Baird] is a dream. He watches and you don't really know until he comes to your work space and hands you a tool that works way better than what you were struggling with.
Andrea Zatarain
I am a Rhode Island School of Design alumni and have been a custom jewelry designer for over 20 years. I have owned my jewelry business since graduating from Rhode Island School of Design in 1996. I create engagement rings, wedding bands and celebration pieces that become especially meaningful for the wearer. Each piece of jewelry contains a story from the owner’s life.
I was a Senior Critic in the Jewelry and Metalsmithing Department and RISD from 1998 until 2011 where I taught Jewelry Rendering. I continue to teach workshops in the North East at various locations.
Most recently, I started Chris & Andy with my husband. We give studio artists more studio time by providing the services necessary to build a strong small business.
