Instructor Bio
“I’m a 55-year-old jewelry enthusiast with a long love for crafting. By day, I work in the medical supply field, but my true creative joy comes from making beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces. Over the years, I’ve explored many forms of jewelry making, from intricate wire wrapping with crystals and shells to colorful macramé designs. Recently, macramé earrings have become one of my favorite ways to combine texture, color, and artistry—and I can’t wait to share my passion and techniques with you.” -Nikki Chen

How do I get to the Studio? From the Chinatown Gateway Garage, take the elevator to the 2nd floor and walk to the large double doors on the left. Enter the gallery and turn left; we are the last door on the left, past the kitchen. If you are parked elsewhere, walk up the steps to the DAC gift shop, go past it to find the elevator, and follow the instructions above to access the studio. There is a handicap ramp if you cannot walk up the stairs for the DAC building on the Nu'uanu entrance side. Walk towards the street lights, and you will see the ramp; you will need to walk through the courtyard to the elevator.
