- I studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design from 2006-2009.
I have been working from Jewel Envy studio in downtown Toronto since August 2009 and have recently switched to being a full time member.
I teach enamel courses for beginners and will soon be opening up an intermediate level course where students can learn more advanced enamelling techniques, but focus will be payed on how to incorporate enamel into jewellery be means of setting techniques (e.g. bezel setting), cold connections (rivetting, prongs, tabs, and more) and other fabrication methods. To enroll in intermediate enamelling courses, students must have taken at least one fabrication course at Jewel Envy or have other equivalent jewellery training and have taken introductory enamelling. An 8 week class begins Tuesday, May 25th. One day workshops scheduled for Sunday April 11 and Sunday May 16th. Contact me for more information or visit www.jewelenvy.ca
Having transferred from my program in graphic design at Concordia in Montreal, I went to NSCAD specifically to study jewellery, and was able to focus the majority of my remaining credits in jewellery and metal courses.
NSCAD's approach is both techincally oriented as well as pushing students to formulate their own unique concepts and ideas about jewellery and wearable art. We have plenty of studio access - at the time each enrolled student received keys and had 24 hour access to work in pairs). This allowed us all to spend the time needed doing material experiments as well as developing our design ideas with peers. NSCAD strength is in its community.
Balanced between production and exhibition work, I like to explore patterns and textures from botanical sources, biology, science. I have always been fascinated with the microscopic and even the sci-fi.

Introductory Enamelling: Learn the basics of firing glass powder onto copper, metal preparation, various firing stages/textures, using opaque and transparent enamels, stenciling, drawing and painting on enamel, building hollow copper objects to enamel, enameling 3 dimensional objects, wet inlay and cloisonne. No jewellery/enamel experience necessary, the basics of piercing and drilling will be taught so everyone has a chance to design their own unique shapes to enamel!
Intermediate Enamelling for Jewellery: We will explore the possibilities of enamel in finished pieces of sterling silver jewellery. We will learn and elaborate on enamel techniques, with a focus on multiples, bezel setting, prongs or tabs and rivetting enamelled components to fabricated jewellery designs. Prerequisites for Intermediate are: Intro to enamelling and Intro to Fabrication or other fabrication experience.
