Donna Herman is a native New Yorker and has been making jewelry since she was a child. She started with stringing beads, moved on to children’s ceramic jewelry kilns (no longer available for sale!) and got serious while working as a CFO in the early 2000’s. She started by taking beading classes at jewelry stores and quickly found the 92NY Jewelry Program. She started taking beading classes with Marsha Davis, then wire working classes.

Donna Herman is a native New Yorker and has been making jewelry since she was a child. She started with stringing beads, moved on to children’s ceramic jewelry kilns (no longer available for sale!) and got serious while working as a CFO in the early 2000’s. She started by taking beading classes at jewelry stores and quickly found the 92NY Jewelry Program. She started taking beading classes with Marsha Davis, then wire working classes. She then moved into learning how to make silver jewelry by taking Jewelry I three times! When she took her first Precious Metal Clay course at 92NY after retiring from the business world, she found her bliss. While not abandoning her other jewelry-making pursuits, she began studying silver clay in earnest. She is certified as an Instructor in both Art Clay and PMC. She has studied with notable silver clay artists such as Lis-el Crowley, co-founder of AMCAW, of which she is also a member. As well as Pat Lillie at the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts, Cathy Flesher who is a presenter and teacher at this year’s MCAS conference in August 2023 at the Sawtooth School of the Arts, Lyle Rayfield, Donna Lewis, and Katie Baum, the owner of Art Clay World. She is also a member of the International Polymer Clay Association. Donna loves to teach – both children and adults – and loves to combine many disciplines. She is now experimenting with combining silver clay with polymer clay.
