ANN THOMAS

An avid rock hunter, or 'rockhound' as many of us are known, Ann lives in northern Michigan. She began making jewelry in 2010 with stones, beach glass, wine glass, and stained glass. Her sons bought her a cement mixer that she turned into a glass tumbler. From there she kept experimenting with different mediums and methods and exploring different beaches across the west coast of Michigan, foraging and finding beach treasures and making them into wearable art. She has three sons and eight grandchildren - who love to rockhound on the beach with grandma.
