the Studio

A peek inside 

Rikki’s studio is a bright, sun-filled space in Winnipeg’s historic Exchange District. Set inside a building that was once a stationary warehouse, her cozy nook is filled with plants, wooden tools, books, photographs, and bits of silver and bronze. A working studio that's inspiring and comforting.

This is where ideas are tested, pieces are formed, and jewelry takes shape slowly and by hand. The studio is also open to visit and shop, offering a direct peek into the process behind each piece. see studio hours here

Where Old Meets New

Rikki's work sits somewhere between vintage and modern. Drawn to time-honoured techniques like hand fabrication, lost wax casting, and careful finishing, she uses them to make jewelry meant to be worn often, cherished and lived in.

Choosing materials for their durability and character. Sterling silver, bronze, repurposed elements and stones that show their history and variation.  See more about the metals she uses here

Inspiration

"jewelry, history, bygone eras and vintage objects call to me. They evoke something that modern objects don't quite reach. My aim is to capture this feeling within my work, and create pieces that will become heirlooms over time"

Through ritual morning walks, natural imperfections, dusty flea market shelves and travel, Rikki pulls draws on bits and pieces of all of these elements to create her work. 

"its no wonder we as humans are natural collectors. Picking up rocks, taking photos, saving momentos. Any way that we can best hold on to things that can only truly be held in our minds and in our hearts. They are the very important physical ties that call those memories back to the fronts of our minds once again."
