ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR, ANDREA:
Andrea collects ordinary discarded pieces from city streets and random locales—items like street signs and license plates—and repurposes them into something more. Taking inspiration from the urban jungle and the wild west, they combine the treasured finds with precious metals and stones to create a unique style of fine art jewelry. The past twenty years has been an exploration into the juxtaposition of high end and discarded materials.
