I grew up in a small town on Vancouver Island and have always had an inherent fascination with how things were made. As a young child I'd be in my fathers workshop, taking things apart to see how they worked. Although the subsequent recreating of the objects didn't always prove successful, these first experiences were the underlying beginnings of a self-taught jewellery designer.

I have an extensive palette to draw from as a mixed media jewellery designer. Inspiration for my work begins with the discovery of the materials themselves. The uniqueness of the materials that I use (ex .re-purposing found objects not originally intended for jewellery such as vintage military medals, coins, decorative spoon ends, leather, lace, silk) and mixing metals produces endless design possibilities. The pieces are rich with textures, asymmetry and color combinations. This uninhibited approach to design with these materials has allowed me to create my own niche as well as numerous one of a kind designs.

vendor profile: Swish & Craft









My name is Savannah Mae and I work under the name Swish and Craft. When I was growing up, my mother and her friend created the word swish to replace the word relaxing and taking time to yourself. Which is essentially what I do while I am crafting. The majority of my work is created while I am marathon-ing bad t.v. shows in my sweats. I have explored all types of creative mediums, but embroidery is what has stuck with me the most. My embroidery work showcases my quirky sense of humor through quotes and imagery that is easily relatable or a modern spin on positive affirmations. As my friend Serah would say, "You make things that people hang up in their homes and incorporate into their lives which is, like, so cool." To put it simply, that is my goal with my hoop art.
