Kristina Paumen

The Eclectic Mind

Photography was Kristina's primary artistic love, but when  she took herfirst jewelry class, she found a new love and it just exploded from there. 

Kristina particularly likes wire work and took to it right away. She has traveled over the years so her designs are influenced by other cultures, and she adores Asian, Celtic and Steampunk inspired jewelry. When Kristina was approached to teach at The Bead Jungle, she couldn’t have been more thrilled to bring something unique to the table.  Her current skills include wire wrapping & weaving, looping, and chainmailj; but she is always up for the challenge of learning a new technique.
