Vancouver this week

I will be at Granville Island Market in Vancouver this coming week, Monday, June 29- Thursday, July 2. Come and visit my table if you're in the area!

In other news:

The season is off to a busy start. I have just finished applying for some exhibitions, which is somehow more work than it seems! My elaborate mason jars (see April post) have been accepted to be shown at the Canadian pavilion at the Cheongju International Craft Biennale in Korea this fall. I'm working on getting over there myself to present them, but for now I'm excited that my work gets to travel, even if I don't! And, closer to home, look for these framed wall pieces, first at the Precious Metals showcase at Mahon Hall on Salt Spring Island, (July 3-16), and then at the "Unity and Diversity in BC Craft" exhibition at the Vancouver Museum, to coincide with the 2010 Olympics:


And here are some photos of some cuffs which have been selling really well at the markets for $75 each:



Don't forget I'm at the Saturday Market on Salt Spring every week now. See you all there!

Finally some news!

Hello friends,

My selling season has officially begun! I will be at Granville Island Market in Vancouver this weekend, from Friday to Monday, 9 am to 7 pm. Come and look for me at my table (not sure where it will be this time, but you'll find me.) I will also be at the Saturday Market on Salt Spring Island most weekends starting on April 17. Stop by and check out the new collection!

I'm doing less and less jewellery these days, and the funnest thing I'm making right now is a collection of mason jars with blackened steel lids, with silver and gold damascene inlay.

These are the crazy, elaborate, extravagant ones which I am entering in international art shows and competitions. They have already been accepted to the annual exhibition in Fiskars, Finland, and 5 of them are en route there as I write. ($500 each):

I have also created a production line of these jars, a little simpler and more affordable ($40 each):

Excellent for storing all kinds of dry goods on your kitchen counter, (tea, coffee, sugar, etc.); for displaying collections of beach glass, pebbles, buttons or other treasures; can also be used in the bathroom for q-tips, cotton balls, bath balls, etc. Just a few suggestions!

And of course, I'll still have lots of belt buckles, cuffs, key rings, and some art pieces as well.

Hope to see you all soon! Watch this space to find out where I'll be next!
