Super Nova: Sheffield's Jewelry Instructor

We can’t help it: we’ve got to brag about the talents of Nova Colette Bronstein, our firecracker of an instructor in what’s proving to be the best online Course in Jewelry Design ---the one offered here at the Sheffield School, of course! Nova’s work is thoroughly contemporary, wending along the border between the soft and the rough, the sharp-edged and the gently curved.

Photo: Nova ColetteNova’s inspiration often comes from fabrics, and her pieces have the undulations of velvets and lace, yet are crafted from some of the toughest metals to be found. They’re a unique expression of seemingly conflicting elements that nevertheless not only live together in harmony, but which create a dynamic, compelling expression.

Photo: Nova ColetteNova’s fascination with conflicting elements also plays out in her larger art pieces: her steel 2007 installation “Facets” brings the shapes of gemstones, painted peony pink, to a construction site.

Photo: Nova ColetteAs the daughter of two artists, Nova has been making art most of her life; she started her formal training in the late 1990s, working with textiles at the Academy of Art in San Francisco and most recently earning a BFA in Metalsmithing from the State University of New York. 

We’re so proud to be working with Nova, that we just had to let you know! You can see more of her work in person at the Museum of Art and Design in New York. One of her latest pieces on display include the silver heart earrings below.

hi! this is something i really wanna do too (esp something to do with jewellery, wood, metal or ceramics) - however i'd need an evening course, and (altho i could be searching wrongly) can only find day time courses for Sheffield College - surely there must be some evening ones out there?! any suggestions welcomed!

Nova's jewelry has always struck me as being very elegant in its own right, very decorative and very simple in its silhouette. She manages to capture images of folded fabric, or the sliced, partially revealed surfaces to transform them into fashionable objects, often derived from Mexico or Indian motives.
