Chelsea Rodriguez

I’m Chelsea, an artist and art historian who transforms paintings into wearable miniature masterpieces. Through my brand, Venus de Chela, I specialize in crafting intricate polymer clay earrings inspired by the works of great masters like Van Gogh, Monet, and Picasso. With my background in art history, I reinterpret iconic artworks into unique, hand-sculpted jewelry, blending traditional artistic techniques with modern craftsmanship.

In my Domestika course, Miniature Masterpieces: Crafting Art History Earrings with Polymer Clay, I guide students through the process of turning famous paintings into miniature, wearable works of art. From selecting colors and textures to sculpting fine details, I share my expertise in creating pieces that honor the beauty and legacy of historical masterpieces. This course is perfect for art lovers and creatives eager to explore the intersection of fine art and jewelry-making, learning to craft their own tiny tributes to the world’s most celebrated artists.
