a mentor or “hero”
There are two!!! My husband Alex "Suds" Sutherland, has always and in everyway, supported me through this journey from it's very beginning. He has made many things possible, including building a clay studio on the back of the garage! My neighbour and good friend of many years, Pauline Braun, who I can always go to for advice and inspiration!

something my craft practice has taught me
to trust my instincts

how I learned my craft
I have for the most part learned my craft by exploring it myself. I have a few workshops under my belt but mostly my mistakes have taught me! I seem to just press onward!

what I love most about my craft
The reaction I get from people when they realize what my jewellery is made of

how I learned my craft
I learned jewellery techniques from traditional sources but then love to apply them in non-traditional ways. Thinking of anything as a bead sure has it's crazy moments!

favorite on-line resource
Most definitely Etsy.com and the great group of crafty gals that form the Winnipeg Etsy Street Team: Etsy for its marketing strategies and easy to use platform, and the gals for their constant support!
