Part time
Where’s home, and what do you like about it
I’m lucky enough to call Jasper my home. I love that there are endless adventures out my front door but what the people are what make me really love this town.
What’s your origin story? How did you get started with this work?
I first discovered polymer clay when I bought a bead making kit on a whim nearly 4 years ago. The clay that came in the kit was an awful sticky mess and while I was looking up how to make it easier to work with I discovered all of the amazing things that can be done with polymer clay. I bought a couple of blocks of basic colours, started watching tutorials and learning everything I could about this amazing medium. I’ve always been a crafty person but when I found polymer clay I found the medium that made me feel like an artist.
What pushes and/or inspires you to be creative?
I want to keep learning and trying new techniques.
How can people purchase your work?
I currently sell via my Facebook and Instagram pages, @withlovebyolive on both. I also have a few items for sale at Jasper Rock and Jade.
Anything else you’d like people to know?
I offer custom work as well :)
Make it stand out.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
