Martine Verfaillie

I have always been drawn to everything related to art. I loved my art classes in high school and college! I studied arts and 3D modeling for video games, and I hold a diploma in computer graphics.

In 2005, I began selling jewelry made from polymer clay. Around 2014, I realized I wanted to create more durable pieces using precious metals, so I started working with new mediums: sterling silver and bronze.

I am self-taught; I learned my techniques on my own by following tutorials. In jewelry making, there is a magical moment when you see a core piece evolve into the final product. I am a member of the Conseil des métiers d’art du Québec.

Every piece is handcrafted by me in Quebec, essentially becoming a miniature, wearable sculpture! Inspired by the beauty of nature, fairy tales, and Japanese culture, these pieces are designed to offer comfort.
