Kathryn MacDonald
Jewellery Artisan: Welcome to my website. I design and create studio jewellery (e.g. creative designs, one-of-a-kind) and invite you to take a peek at my what's new, profile, venue, and author pages.
What
My jewellery incorporates sterling silver and/or copper with semiprecious gemstones and handmade beads. The studio allows me to expand my repertoire and experiment with fire (silversmithing). It is also a beautiful space in an old barn where guest artists are invited to share their work. Please visit and enjoy (and while here, take a leisurely walk through the gardens).
Where
6770 Old Hwy 2, 5 km east of the Village of Shannonvile or if you are coming from Picton or Kingston, exit from Hwy 49 onto Old Hwy 2 and drive west for 5 km (near Shannonville Raceway), and look for my studio in the barn:
When: Seasonally June through August
Plus
Tweed & Area Studio Tour -- October 1-2
Or by chance or appointment
