Johnna Crider
Johnna Crider is a Baton Rouge artist from Shreveport, LA who learned how to wire wrap gems and minerals into jewelry from Grammy-winning guitarist, Daryl Thompson.
Johnna met Daryl and his wife, Denise, in the Little 5 Points arts district of Atlanta and her love for gems and minerals was ignited right there on Euclid Avenue.
In 2021, she started her podcast, Getting Stoned, and some of her more notable interviews include SpaceX Founder & CEO Elon Musk, and Dr. Robert Lavinsky, President and Founder of iRocks.com (The Arkenstone).
Although Johnna has paused her jewelry design business and her podcast to explore other creative options, she maintains Getting Stoned, her blog about gems and minerals.
Currently in her spare time, Johnna is learning to play the saxophone, is working on a new book for her fluorescent mineral collection, exploring photography with her new Nikon, and is studying Sumerian Cuneiform.
