Sgraffito

A technique used to decorate pottery by applying underglaze colors at the leather hard stage prior to bisque and "scratching" off some of the underglaze to expose the clay body below which gives a contrast of color.  This is well worth the extra time and effort as the final outcome is stunning!!

ART Wear Jewelry

I have always loved to create with Nature as an inspiration...the simplicity of organic shapes are elegant and appealing.

Some of my early pieces were simply bent brass wire, leather cording and  beads.  Online courses, books and experimentation provided the confidence I neeeded to begin cutting, manipulating , soldering and etching metal.

After several years of using our kitchen as a studio, I have a designated room in our home with lots of natural light and space for me to spread my tools and supplies out and happily make the mess I need to.

Each piece is  original and hand crafted using brass, copper and sterling silver.  I love the look of mixed metals and how they complement each other.

BARNWOOD Designs

Artisan cabinets by Ken Watson

These beautiful Barnwood cabinets are made from wood salvaged from a barn built in the 1950's in the northern interior of British Columbia.  Every piece will be different with its own personality as the wood shows its age with a silver hue and small dents and nail holes reflecting its time served through harsh winters and warm summers.

Margot Page Enamelling on Copper and Steel

Now celebrating 40 years of making enamels, Margot continues, with gentle passion, to produce small works of enamel in both Copper and Steel.
She first saw the enamel medium being taught at Sheridan College School of
Fine Arts in Oakville Ontario-where she was an instructor teaching illustration to fashion design students and drawing to animation students. The intensity of the beautiful fired enamel glazes appealed to her desire to start working in colour, after years of working monochrome.
In 1982 Margot and her partner set sail on a voyage away from Oakville’s Bronte Harbour. They sailed as far west as the Islands of Japan, all through Japan, then sailed eastward across the North Pacific to return to Canada at Victoria’s inner Harbour BC. Looking for a place to call home they sailed up to Alaska, but finally chose to settle in Maple Bay BC and to eventually set up both their workshops ashore in the Cowichan Valley.

Kastawayz Art

We are a husband and wife team focused on creating beautiful art for your home and garden using 100% recycled metals. 

We live in Port Alberni (a fishing town en route to the popular Westcoast) so our art features an extremely strong salmon and ocean theme accompanied by our birds that everyone loves!


The primary focus with our art is on the utilization and upcycling of old and discarded metal materials.  Every single creation is cut freehand using a handheld plasma - this in turn with the metals rusty patina, pitted steel, faded worn paint, holes and scratches gives it its own unique story, character and personality. We never buy new product, EVERYTHING is recycled and reused and there is no 'process' used to age the metal and give it a rusty look, it is all in its original patina or colour as it was sourced.  This is really important to us and is something we have been doing in all aspects of our lives for over 25 years.


We love what we do and strive to keep our work fresh, fun and unique, offering something for everyone.
