The Who

Hey, I’m Margaret. I’m the maker behind the work you see here.

I’m from Toronto, (born in North York, and currently live in Scarborough for all you locals). I did my Bachelor of Design at what is now OCAD University, majoring in Material Art and Design with a focus on metal and jewellery.

I have had the privilege of working with some of the most incredible individuals throughout my making career. Having met most of them as a student at OCAD and when I was an artist in resident in Harbourfront Centre’s craft studios.

The focus of my work is in traditional gold smithing techniques which relies on knowledge and the exploration of metallurgy. I find my inspiration in production processes, materials and cultural perceptions.

I hope that the wearers of my work enjoy their pieces for a long time and pass it down to those they love to be further enjoyed.

The How

All the pieces you you find here I personally make in my private studio. Working in small batches helps me make thoughtfully, and carefully; by using solid metals (never plated or filled) these pieces are meant to last.
