Join us for Weekend on Main and meet Jewelry Designer and artist Nancy Hoover, come take a look at her pieces and talk with her about her craft. Nancy will also be demonstrating some her techniques of how she creates her pieces.

Nancy Hoover began as a sketch artist at age 12, drawing illustrations for an instructional book about ceramics. Later, she acquired a degree in graphic design and also became a watercolor artist. Ten years ago, Nancy found her passion for jewelry design. She has attended William Holland School of Lapidary Arts in Georgia, and Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco. Her silver and goldsmithing skills along with her love of gemstones combine to create unique and eye-catching art jewelry pieces

"I aspire to have all of my jewelry be a piece of wearable art. I try to think 'out of the box and use my metal-smithing and design skills to create jewelry that shows balance and beauty yet not always be symmetrical or 'expected'. Using precious and semi-precious gems to showcase their color and energy to give the wearer that special feel, is my goal." Nancy Hoover
