A native Arizonian, Chelsea Stone has been making jewelry for fifteen years.  Chelsea received her BFA from Northern Arizona University in 1995 and her MFA from Texas Tech in 2001.  Her one-of-a-kind pieces have been exhibited in national competitions and museum shows, and she currently sells her work in over 50 galleries across the country.  She has been featured in the books 1000 Rings and 1000 Glass Beads, both Lark Books publications, and Lapidary Journal and American Style magazine.

Chelsea is a full-time studio artist who loves to share her knowledge by teaching metalsmithing classes at Yavapai College in Prescott, Arizona.  She also teaches very popular weekend workshops at her home studio on glass bead-making and glass casting.  Chelsea is assisted in her craft by her good friends Susan Stool and Sheri Taylor.  When they aren’t making jewelry they can be found drinking wine or bellydancing with Troupe Salamat.......(www.troupesalamat.com).
