Jewellery Handcrafted by Myrna Allan
Throughout my years of living in Regina , I’ve been a regular attending all the various nearby craft shows and purchasing unique gifts for family and friends. I never thought I would eventually be someone that would have a table and sell my own wares.
I’ve always enjoyed creating different things with my hands, however, that was put on hold when I was deeply entrenched in work life. When I retired from the provincial government, I knew that I wanted to do something creative once again.
In 2007, I registered for my first Jewellery class at Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre. I’ve taken numerous classes and learned many different techniques. Today I continue to take classes to improve my skills and incorporate many of the learned techniques into my Jewellery.
I really enjoy working with a variety of metals (silver, copper, brass, titanium, and niobium) to make and design my Jewellery.
Throughout the time at the studio I have met many wonderful people. It’s been a great way to be creative and socialize at the same time. The social aspect of meeting others that are also creating is just what I wanted to fulfill my retirement.
Most of my Jewellery is fairly petite and delicate, with simple lines. I believe my pieces are unique to themselves and no two are exactly the same, something is always a wee bit different.
I hope you will enjoy wearing my Jewellery as much as I enjoy making and designing the one of a kind pieces.
