for the second weekend in June!

16 Hands is excited to host a 2-Day event with Michigan jewelry artist Nicole Ardis. Her designs, often with cut gemstones, are beloved for their sense of balance and nature influence. Nicole will be in attendance on Saturday, June 16th, with her work still available throughout Sunday the 17th.

Established in 2010, Nicole Ardis Jewelry is located in Nicole’s home state of Michigan. Her passion for creating jewelry using gemstones, metals, and leather developed from her deep love and appreciation of nature’s gifts. An enjoyment of the creative process since childhood led her from fashion design in New York City, to training as a Silversmith, and finally to jewelry making and design. It was in Santa Fe that Nicole perfected her craft, leading to the creation of Nicole Ardis Jewelry.

Known for a keen eye for combining color and texture, Nicole's work has been featured in Sundance Catalog and shown in craft galleries around the country. This is a rare chance to see a great selection of her work in person, and meet the artist on the opening day of the show, Saturday June 9th.
