Jennifer Boccassini began creating beading activities for small children to help them develop fine motor skills.

An Early Childhood student and educator who loves creative curriculum, Jennifer is fascinated by how children learn and develop through creativity. Just two years ago, Jennifer began experimenting with jewelry design and creating lesson plans that develop fine motor skills.

She then started working with “grown up” beads and she fell in love with the process of beading, wiring, creating patterns and the meditative aspects of creating jewelry. She says, “The child inside the adult survives through creativity.” Her creative outlet, combined with a new-found interest in gemstones, crystals and their healing properties led to Grace and Charma Designs.
