I have been creating jewellery for over 5 years, using various techniques. I find knotting pearls or gemstones relaxing and meditative. I teach various jewellery making techniques in the Toronto area and I love sharing my passion for jewellery making with other hobbyist and artists. I have been selling my pieces at local craft shows and I recently opened my Etsy shop.
