Hayden Holmes is receiving her BFA in Jewelry from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. During her undergraduate career, her work has been featured in SNAG’s 2024 Juried Student Exhibition and 2025 Juried Mineral Minded Exhibition, as well as Pratt’s 2026 NYCJW show, Almost Nearly There. She grew up in the tristate area of PA, NJ, and NY, yet has ventured wider for the purpose of furthering her craft. With classes from Penland School of Craft and the Baltimore Jewelry Center under her belt, she revels in the pursuit of learning. Nominated for the Wingdate-Lamar Fellowship for her senior thesis work, she is preparing to expand upon the same themes of refuse and discard post graduation.
