Who are you? The Devil's Workshop - Jewellery Making Workshops, Custom Silver/Goldsmith and Handmade Ready to Wear Gallery.

Where are you located? We are located in the heart of West Queen West at 955 Queen Street West (South/West corner of Trinity Bellwood's Park).

What do you/your business/your product do? We offer Silversmith, Lost Wax Casting, Metal Printmaking, Enamelling, Bead Working and more to the total beginner or budding new talent or established jeweller. Learning how to manipulate fine metals with ease empowers our students to take their jewellery to the next level. We also offer ever popular Wedding Band Workshop held every Saturday, couples spend the day with us and make their wedding bands from scratch out of gold or silver in just one day! If making your own jewellery isn't' for you but you would still like custom one of a kind jewellery then commission us to make it for you!

What will you have at the show? Do you have any special plans for your table/space? At the City of Craft this year The Devils Workshop will Raffle off several classes, showcase student work.

Why handmade? When creativity hits me the only option is to sit down at my work bench and make. I am happy to be able to offer this creative outlet to others.


Students at The Devil's Workshop make their own wedding bands.

Are there any crafts you are especially tuned into at the moment? I am dying to learn how to Enamel, we offer a class but I have not had the time to take it. I have been enjoying metal etching, being able draw images directly onto jewellery really allows more creative freedom. Combining Etching and Enamelling will be my next new obsession!

Anything else we should know? This Valentines day we will be holding a very special workshop. Come into the shop and make a special Valentine Pendant with a secret message hidden inside! Also... We love what The City of Craft is doing!
