C. R. Radding lives and evolves in central California while maintaining a 30-year-old business, fabricating soft furnishings for interiors. She developed a fascination for all things sparkly at an early age, while foraging for treasure in her grandma’s jewelry box, but it wasn’t until finding “serious” beading and wire work that she knew she had found her creative “home.” Exploring and expanding her personal creativity remains a passion, and for the past 11 years she has been teaching and nurturing the creativity in others while sharing her skills.
