Hi I'm Genny Smith and I live in Fort Pierce, FL. Fort Pierce is fast becoming the art center of the Treasure Coast. Lot of good things are happening here. We have a beautiful waterfront, museums and many shops to browse and buy in! One of the shops is Beads and Baubles a first class bead and gift shop. Here you can take many unique classes and see some spectacular pieces of finished jewelry. My company is called New Bel Chain & Bead. If you're wondering where I got the name for my business it's a combination of my first six grandchildren's initials! Daphne got left out since she was born after the company was named. Perhaps I'll have to name a particularly beautiful piece of jewelry after her! If you would like to see my jewelry in person (and perhaps treat yourself to a piece!) go to Hair Envy (4125 9th St. Southwest Vero Beach, FL). They carry many of my necklace and earring sets along with some unique bracelets. My passion for all types of jewelry construction happened quite by accident. My son, Bill, was out on deployment to the middle-east and I was in beautiful California helping my daughter-in-law with the care of Emma and Will, two of my very active and lovable grandchildren. I needed a night out and the local quilt shop (my hobby at that time) did not have any interesting classes. In quaint La Mesa village there is a bead shop, The Bouncing Bead , that caught my attention. My curiosity kicked in and I signed up for a class. The rest is history! Since that time I have attended classes in Florida, New York and Georgia. I've attended the William Holland School for Lapidary Arts . There under the guidance of Diane Mason I learned wire wrapping techniques. Recently I've branched out into silver smithing under the guidance of Dan Haga a master silversmith. My most recent class at Wm Holland is advanced chain making taught by a master, Howard Siegel. I recently returned to California and The Bouncing Bead and learned even more from my first teacher, Linda Wilder, who has a wealth of knowledge. I love teaching! I meet so many great people. Here in Fort Pierce, FL I teach in Beads and Baubles owned by Susan Barette. Beads and Baubles carries not only "knock your eye out" beads but has an array of pre-made jewelry and great gifts! You can contact Susan at beadsandbaubles@bellsouth.net or call her store at (772)468-0207. For a list of my classes, times and dates click here! This site has new free tutorials periodically so keep checking back! |
