Artist Bio:
Raïssa received a BFA in metals from RISD and studied in Italy at Alchimia. She’s well versed at making both one-of-a-kind pieces and edition collections - all of which speak to her interest in wearable arts, textiles, and slow & methodical handwork. Raïssa is a keen observer of her environment, curious, and enjoys adventure. Her jewelry is a reflection of this. Through teaching, facilitating, and writing, she offers ideas and practices about jewelry technique, creative process, and professional practices (including atypical ones related to wellness, mindset, habits) and how they integrate with our day-to-day lives. Her intention is in supporting others to flourish and build sustainable habits and rewarding endeavors.
