About the Author

Nicole Ringgold is a silversmith living in Winthrop, Washington, located in the North Cascade mountains. Her art is inspired by her natural surroundings: plants she encounters while hiking through the mountains, the shapes of rocks she plucks from a river, a sound, glimpse, or smell. Her botanical jewelry is hand fabricated, not cast, dipped, or electroformed. She starts with silver sheets and wire, sawing, soldering, filing, texturing, forming, oxidizing, and polishing every piece. Her intention is to recreate natural forms in silver with as much detail as possible, with the goal of making the metal appear alive. She teaches silversmithing workshops in her home studio and around the world. For more about Nicole's work, workshops, and tutorials, visit nicoleringgold.com and @ringgoldnicole on Instagram.
