Nicki Russo​​

A native of southern New Jersey, Nicki Russo grew up surrounded by creativity. With crafty, talented parents, her childhood was filled with learning and exploring all kinds of handicrafts.

​

In the mid-1990s, Nicki rediscovered her passion for jewelry through bead stringing and wirework. That creative spark soon led her to bead weaving and bead embroidery. After years of traveling across the country to study with master artists at workshops and retreats, she began developing her own original designs.

​

Nicki started teaching at local bead shops, sharing her love of beading and inspiring others to explore their creativity. A former Co-President of the South Jersey Bead Society, she now teaches both in person and via Zoom from her home in Gandys Beach, NJ, where she lives with her tiny Yorkie companion, Abbey.
