NEW!!
Here is a quick look into how I make things... I put immense energy into hand making my work from very basic materials. I create everything from start to finish in my home studio located in Sherwood Park, Alberta. My hope is to make a truly unique piece for you to enjoy and cherish for years to come.
Piercing Sterling SheetVery fine fretwork is accomplished all by hand using a small coping style saw and very fine toothed blade. | Stud Earring ProductionAll these earrings are made from sheet and wire; textured, cut out and formed by hand then soldered with care. | Gemstones!!I choose unique, natural gemstones with interesting cuts that I hope will capture your interest. |

Pizza PartyPretty much everyone's fave treat... In pendant form. I cut the "crust" from sterling silver and brass by hand and topped it off with some copper pepperoni. Yum yum! | Prong SettingI build all my settings by hand. In this case, I have fabricated a prong setting using wire and precise soldering skills. It can be tricky to gently set prongs against a stone. Too much pressure and the stone will crack; not enough and the stone will shift and may fall out over time. | CastingI have a sweet setup for casting; I can burn out objects in my kiln which have been set in a sort of "plaster" which creates a mould. I then cast molten metal into that mould using a centrifugal casting arm. This allows me to replicate anything I carve out of wax, as well as organic and plastic objects. |
Cool ToolsHere are some of my faves... Ye old rolling mill for making wire and textured sheet (to name a couple uses). As well, I have some really great hammers and a select group of specialty pliers. | Green Onyx RingHere I have used a cast element from a succulent plant. I also fabricated all other components, including a ring shank I rolled out from scrap sterling and a setting which I hand made for the green onyx. |
