Hello! My name is Andrea Haukedal. I live in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada.

 

In 2008, I attended a beginner's silversmithing class with my Father and that is where my journey began.

 

While I was at school, I worked part time at a shop specializing in jeweller's tools and supplies. I found that I had a love for the art of metalsmithing and was not afraid to try things on my own. I was soon a full time bench jeweller doing client repairs. While I was honing my skills doing this, I also started instructing silversmithing classes... Which I love doing. I have been teaching since 2010.

 

I later quit my full time day job as a bench jeweller; it gave me the skills and knowledge of traditional techniques I needed but did not leave much room for creativity. Now I spend my days teaching classes and making jewellery pieces in my well stocked home studio which I have been adding to over the years.

 

This is my art and creative outlet; an expression of myself that my pieces represent. Thank you for visiting!
