Lina Cutnam

Leather & Fibre Arts from Vancouver

Creating is the essence of my life. Each creation starts with a vision, an idea or a dream.

Lina Cutnam

Born in Granby, Quebec, Lina Cutnam traces the roots of her passion for creativity back to early childhood when she was introduced to fashion modeling at the age of five. Before long, she was modifying her own clothes and those of her friends, personalizing her vision for fashion and helping to bring out individual expression in others.

Lina is an experienced, self-directed artist, specializing in the exploration of fabric through dyeing, sewing, beading, felting and crochet. She uses a variety of natural fibers, leather and found objects such as stones and shells to create her mixed media textiles. Her favourite techniques are pyrography (literally, “writing with fire”), embroidery and crochet, the combination of which ensures a very unique collection with a personal, feminine touch. Many of her pieces have been showcased in custom collections as well as high end fashion boutiques in Quebec.

Lina’s collections are rich in combinations and contrasts for people who enjoy attention to detail and who seek originality over industrial mass-production. Her signature trademark of reversibility makes her pieces especially versatile and one-of-a-kind.

Supporting Artists, Supporting Community

Circle Craft is more than a gallery or a shop. We're a co-operative, owned and run by the artists who make up our membership. That means when you buy from Circle Craft, your purchase goes directly back to the maker behind the work. No middlemen. No corporate margin. Just a community of over 140 B.C. artists building something together, and a place where craft, creativity, and livelihood are all the same thing.

Made in British Columbia, Canada

Circle Craft is rooted in B.C., where 140 artists across the province draw inspiration from some of the most extraordinary landscapes on earth. From the rugged coastline to old-growth forests to the high desert of the interior, our makers are shaped by the place they call home. That connection to this land isn't just inspiration. It shows up in every piece, every medium, and every collection we carry.
