About Us

Jessica Blissett opened Ignite Jewelry Studios in April of 2019.

Her vision was to offer a safe an inclusive space for all levels of metalsmiths to work from, offer classes and workshops, and provide a galley for local jewelers to sell from.  Today the space accomplishes all that and more.  Together she and her skilled team provide a fun and safe space for anyone to take jewelry workshops, practice and fabricate, and shop for that unique hand made piece of jewelry.  After sustaining heavy damage to the former studio, Ignite is re-opening in downtown Asheville! Come watch students and metalsmiths in action while shopping handmade jewelry.  We invite you to stop by and browse our boutique gallery, sign up for a workshop (beginner friendly and a fun way to spend a few hours in Asheville), or reach out to inquire about our residency programs.
