Since graduating with honours from the
Jewellery Arts Program at George Brown
College in 1992, Lisa Ridout has been
dedicated to producing the fine art of
handcrafted, precious metal chains. Lisa is
known as a leader in her craft, honouring
and continuing a traditional art form at
threat of becoming a lost art in this age of
mass-production.

The
traditional skill of chain making is a
delicate and time-consuming craft. The chain
is entirely handmade by drawing silver into
wire form of varied thickness, then turning
and weaving rings into delicate patterns.
Drawing on historical patterns, as well as
new combinations of her own creation, Lisa
also blends her absolute love of beads,
stones and crystals into her pieces. The
results are exquisite, award winning
examples of tactility and timeless beauty.
