Tryon Arts & Crafts School announces November Artist of the Month, Jimmi Buell. Visit TACS on Friday, November 15, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. to celebrate with Jimmi and to partake in the opening reception of the annual Handcrafted Holiday Showcase. Jimmi’s metal and stone jewelry will be on display through Saturday, November 30.

 

Jimmi has been creating jewelry for 18 years. She works mainly with metal and stone.

 

Through a variety of classes over the years, Jimmi has refined her creative process using a torch to work with silver and fold forming copper as well as etching, to create interest in her designs that incorporate a variety of stones. “I love the process of finding a stone that speaks to me and I enjoy creating a design that compliments the stone. I want each of my unique pieces to have a story.”

 

Making jewelry is her creative outlet. “When I’m in the studio I lose all track of time. I’m not worrying about what I need to do next. It just flows.”  

 

Jimmi has been a member of Tryon Arts and Crafts for eight years. “With each new class or workshop, I have expanded my knowledge of creating metal art. I am thankful for this wonderful local resource that feeds my soul and helps me be a better artist.”

 

Philosophically Jimmi shares: “One’s path in life is never linear. The reflection of eternity emerges in my jewelry through circular patterns.”
