Accessories – Washington, D.C.
Hey everyone! I\'m a 20 something, soon to be 30 something (aaah!) chick who loves throwing on scrubby clothes, cranking up the music, and working in my jewelry studio. I got the itch to design and create jewelry in high school after taking a jewelry making class with one of my high school art teachers who is also a goldsmith. It was then I discovered I could focus my love for art and passion for working with my hands on creating unique jewelry for people to wear. I have been hooked ever since. In \'08 I graduated from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania with a B.S. in Art Education and a B.F.A. in Fine Metals. Right out of college I started teaching high school art in Harwood, MD... which caused me to put my metalsmithing skills and jewelry making on the back burner for a bit. About a year and a half ago, I obtained a studio space which allowed me to (finally!) get back into pursuing my jewelry making ambitions. Amanda Hagerman Jewelry came soon after. I’m thrilled to be working with metal again and crafting jewelry! Other than spending time with my family, jewelry making is my escape and passion.
