With an early childhood spent in East and West Africa, Linda s formative years fuelled her inner creativity with colourful cultures, their artefacts and handicrafts.  She completed an art foundation course in 1980, and in 1989 went on to study Jewellery Making at the London Metropolitan University, specialising in metal work and enamelling.    Linda s first jewellery ranges were sold in galleries and shops nationally in the U.K. She set up jewellery making workshops for childrens'  birthday parties, followed by wire and bead classes at her local adult education centre.      Linda s jewellery designs continue to evolve and gain popularity, notably her wedding jewellery: creating very personal tiaras, necklaces, earrings and accessories for brides in the U.K.  She works from her studio in Kent, England, where the film "Wire & Beaded Jewelry with Linda Jones" was shot.    Linda has been featured in many magazines in Europe and the USA, and is the author of several books on wire & beaded jewelry (also available from Amazon.com):    "Wire and Bead Celtic Jewellery: 35 Quick and Stylish Projects" by Linda Jones (Paperback)     "Creating Wire & Beaded Jewellery: Over 35 Beautiful Projects Using Wire and Beads" by Linda Jones (Paperback)     "Making Colourful Wire & Beaded Jewellery" by Linda Jones (Paperback)
