My name is Kyrstin and I'm a 28 year old woman originally from Spokane Washington. I moved to Portland for its sense of community and love of the locally made crafts! I have been a jeweler for 16 years and specialize in chainmail. I was a jewelry teacher at Michael's but found I was spending more time trying to sell Michael's product than I was teaching, so I set up at a local Starbucks and taught jewelry on the weekends. I recently made the jewelry for a wedding, a custom chainmail bracelet and matching earrings with the wedding date in stamped metal as a charm. I also crochet and have been doing so for over a decade. I make my own custom pieces, and I particularly enjoy making cute capelets. Other than that, I am a barista just trying to make my way in the world!
