About Us
Celtic Chrystal is owned and operated by Chrystal Hayes of Denton, Texas. Celtic Chrystal is a home based business and only does weekend shows. However she will do home shows on request.
Chrystal graduated from the University of North Texas in 1992 with a Bachlors of Fine Arts in Metal Smithing and Jewelry Making and a minor in Anthropology. She has been making jewelry since she was a small girl in California. She started with found copper wire left over from rewireing the PA system at her grade school. After her mother supplied her with a few beads, history was made.
Amazingly, Chrystal didn't start college to be a jewelry major. She was taking the classes for fun while she worked on her Photography degree. In her 5th (yes, 5th) year, she found that she had taken so many jewelry classes that she could graduate by taking just 1 more. Chrystal has also been certified to teach K-12 art in the State of Texas.
It is better to do something you enjoy and your joy will be reflected in what you produce. Chrystal also offers classes in jewelry making. If you are interested, please drop her an email.
