Kristin Hanson Fine Jewelry School

Kristin Hanson began her journey toward fine jewelry-making mastery by walking down a path less traveled. Raised in a home where expression was encouraged, she spread her roots to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Then she took a leap. She traveled to the wilds of Colorado to apprentice under master goldsmith Harold O'Connor, learning his nuanced, perfectionist techniques and method for training squirrels to be workshop assistants. Her studies then carried her to Florence and Tuscany before drawing her back to the East Coast.

Kristin's life-inspired works embody the contemporary with forms that highlight the innate beauty of her materials. Her trademark couture jewelry has caught the eye of such publications as Lucky and InStyle. In short courses and intensive programs, she hews to a teaching philosophy that fosters others' styles instead of encouraging copycats of her own. Except during special exhibits, Kristin handcrafts each piece in 60 Reade, her 6,000-square-foot Tribeca gallery, and specializes in conflict-free pink diamonds from an Australian mine.

The Groupon Guide to: Doll History

Dolls aren't just toys designed to look like lifeless, dead-eyed versions of the children who play with them, but also collectors' items that reflect the era they come from. Here's a list of the famous dolls that every collector should have in their glassed-in doll hutch:

  • Mr. John, 1901: Victorian toymakers didn't want to create a female doll that girls might admire or model their bodies after, so they created Mr. John. The porcelain figure was dressed in a formal innkeeper’s tuxedo and had a real wooden cane he could swing at children.

  • Stick Wearing Bird Nest, 1931: It looks like a woman if you pretend the nest is hair.

  • Sally Wetsherself, 1961: Sally had a nozzle in her back that could be hooked up to a garden hose for what doll experts have called "the most realistic doll urination to date".

  • USA Young Miss Dolls, 1974: Each doll in this series was from a different time period in American history and came infused with her own special guilt about American political policies.

  • Nancy, 1986: Nancy was the youngest doll to ever get pregnant. She named her baby Arfie.

  • Twerpz, 2002: Twerpz Dollz hate skool, luv candi, and eat their parents for breakfist!

Why do dolls hate skool so much?
