Mark Nelson Stars in PBS's Beads, Baubles, and Jewels
Mark Nelson, MFA 1999, Jewelry Design and Metalsmithing, will star in a jewelry demonstration series coming soon to PBS. He has worked with Rio Grande for four years. (Rio Grande is one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of jewelry making findings and tools in North America.) PBS and Rio Grande will offer 12 original episodes of the season, each featuring a different full-length project, now available online! Check your PBS listings for dates and times, or call your local station to request the show air in your area.
Professor Robly Glover taught and mentored Nelson in Jewelry Design and Metalsmithing while he was at the SoA. Glover explains,”Mark is becoming quite a celebrity. . . He does do scholarly development and research and is a good studio artist!”
Yeah! So glad to hear Mark is having a series! His segments are always so informative. Just when I seem to be learning a new technique or vocabulary, there’s Mark on BB&J to explain it. I especially love the new 1100 series dealing with the setting up of a studio. Thank you so much Mark Nelson & PBS!!
