About Us

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We are influenced by our childhood to make and break things. Messy, sticky, imperfect things. Paper mache. Finger painting on walls and furniture. Digging for earthworms in the backyard. Tossing slime onto the ceiling to witness its eventual fall behind the door of the dusty bedroom floor.


Our process values slow reflection over speed. We sublimate complexities of highs that feel so good, grief and longing that’s changed us, and I-don't-knows into objects of desire that represents a pursue of a feeling, a memory, a question. When we are exploring, we often find our language softened by distance like an old memory. Blurry and ambiguous. When we are making, we work slowly and intentionally to shape the things we don’t know how to say aloud into objects that reflects something unspoken.


Soft and Sticky is an exploration that approaches jewelry, art and objects made with a sense of tenderness, imperfection, and the messy in-between.


“I want us to be doing things, prolonging life's duties as much as we can. I want death to find me planting my cabbages, neither worrying about it nor the unfinished gardening.”
― Michel de Montaigne

 



OUR PROMISE

Our aim is simple – to make things with precious metals and manage conscious practices in the studio:

1 – Design and production from casting and finishing from beginning to end is locally made to order in Canada.
2 – Precious metals are kept in a circular supply chain. Scrap silver and gold bench sweepings are collected, refined and recycled indefinitely to make new jewelry and objects again, preventing precious metals from being lost.
3 – Biodegradable chemicals and cleaning agents are used and disposed of safely to avoid contaminates from going into the earth.
4 – Made-to-order production. We may be slow, but we create only what is needed to keep the footprint of our production small.
5 – Transition to casting 100% in recycled precious metals to minimize the environmental impacts of mining.
