I will soon be offering jewellery workshops at my new studio in East Vancouver. I will be moving next door to 1177 Parker St. and will be setting it up as a teaching/learning space. Peggy Logan will be my new studio mate, and we will be offering a range of evening and weekend courses, from beginner jewellery and enamels, to damascene and beginner blacksmithing.
Courses will start in January 2012. Watch this space for details, or send me a message to get on our mailing list!

"Women Who Work With Metal" Group Show in Maple Ridge, BC
Here's the invite to a group show I'm in Oct. 8- Nov. 12. Maple Ridge has a beautiful arts centre and gallery, and this show has some spectacular work in it. I especially love Sylvie Roussel-Janssen's work, pictured at the bottom of this post. I thought at first it was stained glass, but it is actually fabric stretched over a series of metal frames.
Please note I will be giving an artist talk on November 5, 1-2:30 pm. I will be showing a slide presentation of the progression of my work from jewellery to sculpture, some photos of the armour and samurai sword fittings that have inspired me, and also a bit of a travelogue of the artist residency I did in Finland, which was so important to the development of my work.
Setting up the show with the other 5 artists, I was amazed at the variety of approaches to working in metal.
