Joanna Gollberg
"Making fun, interesting, beautiful jewelry is my passion. Having other people appreciate and wear that jewelry brings me great joy."
Making jewelry satisfies Joanna's drive to create because it offers a lifetime of learning and challenges, in both a technical and in a design sense. The answering of “how?” helps her push design and personal boundaries within the framework of a jewelry line. The ability to draw on past knowledge combined with the openness she has for new ideas completes Joanna in her creative work.
Joanna combines multiple stone setting techniques along with a variety of metalsmithing techniques such as making her own prong settings and metal sheet to complete her jewelry. She draws on a vast array of skills learned and practiced over the years to realize her work.
She earned an AA in Jewelry Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 1997 and has taken several classes at Penland School of Craft. Thirty years of exploration, curiosity, failure, and fearlessness rounds out her education.
