Meet Our Expert Instructors
Tamara Honaman
Tammy (Tamara) Honaman—jewelry designer for 30 years. A pursuit of learning has led to a decades-long, creative career for Tammy, and a passion for helping others learn how to make beautiful things. Wire, metalsmithing, metal clay, beading, polymer, and mixed media can all be found in her studio and on her bench (sometimes at the same time!). Tammy began her publishing journey at Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist over 25 years ago and is an expert on bringing how-to projects to readers and viewers in a variety of platforms. She lives outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with her family, where she cooks, makes jewelry, knits, and crafts up a storm (there might be some glitter in her studio!).

She was also the host of Beads, Baubles, and Jewels on PBS and Jewelry Artist podcast and has written numerous books about making beaded jewelry. Katie bought her first pearl knotting tool in 1999 and has been knotting pearls and other beads ever since. She has taught many beading classes, and students connect with her approachable style and “you can do it” attitude. Katie lives in northern Arizona, where the blue skies and pines provide constant inspiration.
