ABOUT FRANCESCA LYNN FAUCETTE THE ARTIST:
A designer at heart, I’ve been creating jewelry since early 1999. I’m mostly self-taught, although I’ve taken workshops in almost all mediums. I’m not always as disciplined in my designs as I'd like, since I hardly ever work from a pattern or direction. I work intuitively, take inspiration and twist and turn it, bash and burn it until I get what I want. My work is bold, expressive, and filled with texture.
TEACHING: I also teach jewelry design and fabrication. This allows me to connect with kindred spirits, sharing positive energy and learning from every student. It feeds my spirit to see students emerge and develop as artists and designers.I always encourage you to add your own personality and flair to the designs learned, developing your signature style and making the design yours alone. I've taught in the Carolinas, at national bead shows, and for almost 2 decades in the Nashville area as Francesca Lynn. I've recently relocated back to the home of my heart, East Tennessee, and started Studio Navarri.
