Jessica Regner’s interest in making jewelry began when her oldest son was a toddler. Motherhood made her stir-crazy, and she needed a creative outlet. Realizing that she couldn’t concentrate on anything without frequent interruption, Jessica began keeping a bead tray on a high counter and picking it up during quiet moments.

Jessica’s initial attempts at making jewelry were typical of beginner work, but she was determined to learn and fortunate to find an outstanding instructor and mentor, Wan Nobly. Jessica took classes with Wan for four years and has also pursued her craft through independent study, as well as close examination of numerous books and online resources.

At this point, Jessica has been making wirework and bead-woven jewelry for eleven years. She is pleased by how her work and her style have developed over time. Jessica believes that art is therapeutic and loves sharing her passion for creating with others.

Jessica has been a resident of Lafayette, CO for the past 18 years. She is the mother of two boys, ages 13 and 9. She loves reading, creative writing, gardening, cooking, going for long walks, and spending time with family and close friends.
