From the very first time Dawn Teasdale sat down at the jeweller's workbench, she was hooked. Immediately she fell in love with the goldsmith's craft–the techniques, and the tools–many of them passed down through generations. Dawn enjoys exploring these traditions through the custom of personal adornment – a practice spanning thousands of years in human history. Dawn chooses to forge and fabricate each piece so that no two will ever be exactly alike. There is something undeniable and intimate about the process of transforming metal into a wearable object, one that can be a receptacle for time, space, and memory.
