Allison Craft – 2012 Artist Of The Year

Jewelry designer Allison Craft is the South Walton 2012 Artist of the Year.

Allison puts her unique touch on the combination of leather and pearl jewelry, even using turquoise, recycled glass or antique coins, all of which beautifully encompass the natural beauty that is all around South Walton. She makes every piece by hand drilling the pearls and using rolled and conditioned leather.

Allison’s jewelry can be found at 30A Studio at Hibiscus in Grayton Beach, Fusion Art Glass in Seaside and Grand Boulevard, Tracery Interiors in Rosemary, Old Florida Outfitters in Watercolor, Nuance Living in Seagrove Beach and many other boutiques across the country.
