About Wendy
Hi,
I’m a jewelry maker based in Oakville, Ontario. My jewelry is bold, and a little unexpected in size. For over twenty years, my primary focus has been polymer clay. Over time, my work has expanded to include wood, paint, and other mixed materials.
I’m fascinated by worn paint, imperfect marks, and the kinds of details most people walk past without noticing — old doors, weathered metal, chipped surfaces. Those ideas show up in my work in the way that I think about surface.
As my work developed, I kept running into the same practical problem: when you work with polymer clay and want to make a series, it’s surprisingly difficult to get consistent bezels without everything feeling stiff or overly controlled.
I wanted forms I could return to again and again, without losing the personality of the surface.
That’s what led me to create CaBezel Jewelry Molds — repeatable shapes that give structure while still leaving room for variation. The idea behind them — easily repeatable, always original — still guides how I think about making.
I also enjoy sharing what I’ve learned along the way. Through teaching, workshops, and online resources — including my Scratching the Surface workshop.
