Ronda Coryell is a Master Goldsmith specializing in ancient granulation techniques. She is the Studio Director and Faculty of Revere Academy in San Francisco. She won the 2002 Saul Bell Award for Silver. Ronda states "Creating objects of beauty inspired by ancient techniques and the magic of metal is my passion. I find creating jewelry so exciting that sharing and teaching have become as important to me as creating itself. Through teaching I am continually being challenged to interpret the mysteries of metal; inspiring for many a whole new respect and awe for this medium."
