Winnie Chai Art Jewelry
Description
Craftsmanship is something that develops slowly over time through years of steady practice. It is about showing up everyday and doing the same thing over and over.
– Michelle Skiba
The Calling
I grew up studying music and literature, worked in graphic design, and then discovered metalwork traveling through Western China, Tibet, Nepal, and India. There, a Tibetan woman’s exquisitely sculpted earrings of coral, turquoise, and gold whispered my name in luminous syllables.
The Work
I make my jewelry with traditional metalsmithing tools and techniques in a bright, welcoming workshop with care and presence. I work intuitively, enjoying the materials’ tactile, visual, and energetic resonance. My recent work pairs hand bead-woven elements with gold, silver, and extraordinary gemstones – particularly natural druzies, sapphires, and diamonds.
