Chelsea Stone

MFA-Texas Tech

Jewelry

Chelsea Stone’s current jewelry focuses on volume, color, pattern, and play with an infused pinch of humor to her often narrative designs.  Her work combines traditional media such as copper, silver, enamel, and gemstones with nontraditional materials such as resin, plastics, cement, inks, image transfers, and found objects.  Chelsea graduated with a BFA in Metals with a Business minor from Northern Arizona University and completed her MFA in Jewelry with a Sculpture minor from Texas Tech University.  She has taught at NAU, Texas Tech, Yavapai College, and themed classes in her private studio.  Her work has been shown/sold in over 50 galleries nationwide. After traveling for over two decades selling her line of Eye Candy Jewelry at art shows around the country, Stone is staying closer to home post-COVID, spending more time in Prescott creating her unique brand of wearable art. At Yavapai College, Chelsea is teaching classes on basic metalsmithing and creating with alternative materials for jewelry and small sculpture (ART 298).
