EllJay Design by Laura Steadman
I have been involved in arts and crafts of all sorts for
most of my life. I love working with my
hands and have done cross stitch, Hardanger embroidery, crochet, Origami,
designed and made teddy bears, painting, and other things too.
Years ago, my step-father took a jewellery class and I was
impressed by the things he made. I
wanted to take the class too but put it off for a long long time. When I finally took the class I was instantly
hooked!
I am continually fascinated by
the way a piece of metal can be transformed through many different techniques
into something beautiful and wearable. I
have spent the last few years setting up my own studio and taking classes. I work primarily with Sterling silver but
will sometimes use copper and semi-precious stones and beads. I have also taught a small class
that involves fusing fine (.999) silver into a ring. I was born and raised in Regina where I will
continue to take classes and work on designing and creating new and unique
pieces of jewellery.
