Ann Sokal is a jewellery maker, metalsmith, and graphic designer working and living in the geographic heart of North America: Winnipeg! Using traditional metalsmithing techniques including wax casting, hand forging, and construction she crafts jewellery from sterling silver, brass, crystals, and mixed media including vintage ceramics and ocular prosthesis. Her inspiration comes from the natural world that is beautiful but also that which is strange and embracing both simultaneously. The light and the dark. She aspires to create unique pieces which will radiate the energy and power that comes from this special duality.
