About
Christine Norton is a Virginia based jewelry designer who specializes in fine, sterling silver and precious metal clay. Initially drawn to beading after seeing a simple lariat a coworker had purchased, she dove headlong into numerous metalsmithing and chain making classes. While she continues to work at a traditional office job, her jewelry hobby has turned into a passionate side career. Her work has appeared in numerous publications including Metal Clay Artist magazine, The Crafts Report, and several editions of The Art of Metal Clay Jewelry calendar and PMC Guild Annuals.
