I have been making jewellery for 15 years and have spent this time trying to grow and expand my knowledge of working with metals and precious stones. My wish is to continually evolve and refine my technique as a "maker." In this I have been supported by my love, Jean-Francois, and my loves, Nadeige and Torin - whose patience I am eternally grateful for. My work can be found on my Facebook page - Shannon R Welch Jewellery and my Instagram - ShannonRaeWelch.

Another one of our faves is back for the Winter Wonders Market - Shannon Welch!

Shannon Welch took up silversmithing twelve years ago in Victoria, BC. Since then she has had the opportunity to hone her skills at the Revere Academy in San Francisco, the Neil Balkwill Centre in Regina and through mentorship grants with the Saskatchewan Craft Council and CARFAC. In 2011, her work was awarded “Excellence in Metalwork” in the Dimensions craft council show which tours the province.

In her spare time she is a full-time high school teacher, mother of two kids (Nadeige and Torin) and two dogs (Pudding and Maple), and partner of Jean-Francois, who is very patient, as well as supportive of her creative pursuits.

Artist Profile: Shannon Welch

Shannon Welch first started taking silversmithing classes ten years ago in Victoria, BC. Since then she has pursued opportunities to learn more about her craft and has been fortunate to learn from many talented metal workers.




This year she is on a deferred salary leave from her other life as a full-time high school teacher, allowing her to pursue her jewelry-making full time. This has proven to be a bit of a blow for her husband who thought she would spend her time making him dinner.



Her work is also sold through the Stall Gallery and Absalom Hair (323 6th Ave North) in Saskatoon.
