Nancy Ryall was born and educated in England. She studied at Newcastle-under-Lyme, School of Art and at The City of Birmingham University School of Jewelry.
She was awarded a bursary from the Goldsmiths’ Design Council and exhibited work at New Designers, London. After graduating in 2005 she came to live and work with her parents in North Carolina and there learnt many of the skills associated with the production of fine porcelain. Nancy also worked on tall ships, sailing on ‘Mystic Whaler’, General Pattern’s ‘When and If” and latterly she helped restore J.F. Kennedy’s ‘Manitou’; thus enabling her to buy her jewellery tools and equipment. In 2009 Nancy returned to England where she undertook a five month apprenticeship in Birmingham, thereby increasing her technical skills as a jeweler.
On returning to the U.S.A. she established her studio. She currently lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland.
