Jewellery from Vancouver

I strive to create work that is a fusion of fine craft, art, and design, expressing a vision that is uniquely my own.

Suzanne Nairne

Studying languages was an early love of Suzanne’s. At university she became involved in dance, developing a passion for it, studying and performing contemporary dance across Canada. After a month long stay in NY to take dance classes she resolved to go back to live. A few years later she did. She created her own work as a designer and maker of handmade table accessories and acrylic jewellery. At a craft fair in NYC she discovered a range of stunning, original, challenging, artisan created, contemporary metal jewellery, such as she never knew existed. That was a turning point and soon after Suzanne received a scholarship to study at The Craft Students League in NYC. There, she saw in the work and encouragement of teacher, Tamiko Kawata Ferguson, a sign of the direction she wanted to take to develop her own jewellery voice. Suzanne works in her East Van studio doing what she loves: her own different series as well as happily accepting commissions.

Supporting B.C. Artisans

Before
After

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 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.
