Kim Smith

I had been a life-long hobby person, until 2016 when I took a Viking Knit course and I was hooked!  Gone were the days of relatively low costs yarns, patterns and books and in were the days of heavy deliveries, tools and shiny metals.  I started with a crème Brule torch in my basement, a hammer and copper pipe I bought from the hardware store and have now moved into a fully kitted out studio in Victoria, BC.  I’ve taken a number of classes from extremely talented jewellery artists from Vancouver Island, Vancouver, Seattle and the incredibility beautiful Methow Valley in the Cascades. 

I primarily work in silver, sometimes copper, and all my pieces unless specifically marked are all fused and soldered by hand, not cast.
