Chris's Story

Let's see. chased my tail for years. San Diego, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Austin, St. Thomas, St. John, Jamul, Pagosa Springs. Many lifestyles..........hippie, corporate, and now jewelry artist/goldsmith living in the woods in rural Colorado. Finally caught my tail............... And I guess if you really want to see what I'm up to, check my website at urban-armour.com or visit my Chris Nelson Facebook page. My line of urban-armour jewelry working in iron and fused golds was launched in May, 2010 and has become my main focus as a jewelry artist. Being a late starter in life, an obsession working with iron and fused gold has led to an international presence of my jewelry work. Published in several books the past few years, and featured in the Italian jewelry magazine, Vicenza Jewelry in January, 2014. In May, 2014, I was invited to write a paper for t...Expand for more
he Santa Fe Symposium, which is the largest international gathering of metallurgists working primarily in gold research and 3D printing. I also presented a slideshow of my research and techniques to the 150 attendees at the 3 day conference. The paper and presentation has created opportunity to teach my Ferrous Musings/Fusings workshops in UK, Portugal, Spain and Italy. I have also been invited to do research with two Portugese scientists in the next several months. It is interesting what life brings to us when we follow our passions. Also, to the many friends and connections worldwide we can find when we follow our heart and continue to dream new dreams no matter what age. Sorry, I will not be attending the 50th reunion. In June and July, I am going to spend 7 weeks in Australia on a Working Visa and teach a few workshops in metals then play a whole lot.
