Nya Van LeuvanNya Van Leuvan - I began my interest in the alchemical art of transforming raw materials into wearable works of art in college when I found art deeply calms my mind. Through my company, Opulent Ore, I make both jewelry for everyday wear and heirloom quality pieces to be passed on through generations. In 2013, when I learned the art of lost wax casting, my creative outlet took a transformative turn. Being able to cast my creations empowered me to share my designs so I could pursue something I feel very called to do - work on behalf of our planet. I established an NGO that would help my colleagues succeed at the human dimension of environmental challenges. Fast forward a decade and I have co-authored Making Shift Happen which is already having a far reaching impact on environmental work worldwide. Unsurprisingly, many of my pieces are nature based and a percentage of the profits from these lines supports environmental work at the NGO Root Solutions in the SF Bay Area. You can find my work at  www.opulentore.com.


Olivia Carroll-WeiselOlivia Carroll-Weisel will be bringing works of ceramic jewelry to the fair this year. Her heart and bean beads – crafted, colored, and etched with a little message by hand – are strung to make simple, elegant necklaces with funky, warming prayers.

Ryan KunkelRyan Kunkel is a junior at Tamalpais High School. The ability to think of something in my head and bring it into reality is really fascinating to me and 3D printing is my medium of choice. Some of the things I‘ve created are 3D ornaments of Mount Tam that are accurate to its surface, Snow Globes of Tam made with a similar approach and miniaturized Lake Tahoes… minus the water! These all make great gifts to outdoors people as well as fabulous paper weights.
