Ann Jalsa has been creating Art Nouveau and late Victorian hand crocheted jewelry for almost 30 years. She hunts for vintage antiques as she travels for Fine Art Festivals all over the country and national button conventions to find rare and beautiful relics from that period. Then she bales them in silver to create medallions and finishes the compositions with real pearls and gemstones. Some are more ornate, and some are extremely delicate, but are woven on a polymer nylon filament that creates great durability. She is happy to show her one of a kind creations to Gainesville, her hometown

Inspired by the beauty found in the natural world, my work is not an imitation of any real living thing, but rather life forms that might exist in some other worldly place. Microorganisms, fungi, seeds, cacti, and sea life have been observed in great detail which have inspired me to create these "organic possibilities".

Using a potter's wheel and various hand-building techniques, my work is produced solely by myself in my studio. My clay of choice is a low-fire red earthenware clay which is then finished using oxide stains, underglazes, and my signature crawl glaze to create a rich textural, colorful surface that is unique to my work.

I have a sincere passion to create objects with clay and this energy radiates from within me into the work I produce.
