 Summer Salon Artist Demo with
Shelley Nordman
August 23, 2025  4p – 6p, FULL

Space filled up fast! RSVP’s are now officially full, but you can still RSVP for waitlist.
Call 714-731-5432 or email art@chemersgallery.com to RSVP for waitlist

Shelley Nordman’s world of color, curiosity, and creativity is guided by the question:
“What would happen if…?” Shelley approaches jewelry-making with a sense of wonder and experimentation, transforming each piece into a playful exploration of materials, technique, and light.

Drawn to the way multichromatic pigments shift and shimmer through layers of resin and dye sublimation, Shelley blends stencils, molds, and her own silver elements into pieces that feel both playful and inventive. A kaleidoscope of color and curiosity!

It’s a joy to watch Shelley at play, and now she’s inviting you to join in the fun. Come play with pigments, explore your own “what if’s” and leave with a one-of-a-kind creation.

These dates are full. If Shelley decides to do it again, we will let you know.

Call 714-731-5432 or email art@chemersgallery.com to RSVP for the waitlist.
