Instructor: Jody Lyle is a goldsmith with over 23 years of experience designing and making jewelry. It all started in a high school jewelry class which lead to a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts from the University of North Texas , to be followed by many jewelry classes and workshops all over the west. Outside of the classroom, the world’s influences continued to inspire her with travels to places to view art in Egypt, Greece, Mexico, and the British Isles. Jody’s jewelry collections have been shown throughout New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, the San Francisco bay area, and now on Bainbridge Island. Jody continues to hone her skills, acquiring new techniques and is continually expanding the definition of her jewelry. As a child Jody learned that for a day to be satisfying, one had to make something. This is simple but it still holds true.
