For the second year, Ashley's jewellery will be heading to the Art Gallery of Hamilton for their annual Fall Sale. This year, they are dedicating a full two weeks to a pop-up shop just for jewellery, Bijoux, November 3-16. Details here.

Ashley participated in the Queen West Art Crawl for the third year in a row, and is thrilled to say it was a big success! More shows in the future.

Ashley is so excited to announce that she's been able to scale back the hours of her full-time job to devote more time to her jewellery work. The extra day a week will be for scouting new and strange materials, super-making beautiful things, finding new shops. Expect big news in the next months!

The Stalamite Ring is featured on Ring Blog The Carrotbox! Now, THIS girl knows her rings. Check out her site for an inventory of HER ENTIRE RING COLLECTION.

Ashley's work can now be purchased at Arts on King, an amazing little fine art and craft shop at King and Jarvis. Yay!

Through a fortuitous meeting at the QWAC this year, Ashley got the opportunity to participate in the Art Gallery of Hamilton's annual fall fundraiser. Showing with other fantastically talented fine artists and jewellery designers from across Ontario, the show was a hit! Proof that the gallery setting is a great place for Ashley's work.

Ashley's lovely and talented friend Stephanie Cloutier spent a few hours watching the rusty stuff transform and has a lovely series of photographs to show for it.

Ashley participated in the Queen West Art Crawl for the second year in a row. It was a great success, and thanks for all the fans who came out!

Ashley's work was used in this incredible photoshoot by Matthew Guido and Christine Vieira, as part of an effort to raise funds for Drawn to Develop and Street Kids International. The early shots are amazing!

Ashley's jewellery and images from her photoshoot pop up on Trendhunter.com, a site dedicated to keeping tabs on new and innovative things. Glad to get a mention!

A long time fan of Sarah Slean, Ashley has offered to donate some pieces for her next tour, dubbed Recessionista! Ms. Slean will have all the pieces she wears throughout the tour made by local designers from recycled materials, and Ashley's pieces fit right in with this sensibility! Stay tuned for links to media and Sarah Slean website mentions!

Recently, Ashley was asked to donate a piece to a fundraiser for Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, a non-profit organization based out of Toronto. Happy to donate to this worthy cause, Ashley gave over a small rusty washer necklace and a matching ring. She was thrilled to hear that there was a bit of a bidding war for her pieces! Very exciting!

Ashley's mesh headpieces have been used for another fashion show, this time at the 2009 Booklover's Ball, a gala fundraiser event held to support the Toronto Public Library. This is a perfect cause for Ashley to support, as she holds a Literature degree from the University of Toronto and is a passionate reader. Photographs to come.

Ashley collaborated with Michelle Turpin of Karamea to produce a line of jewellery for the runway debut of her Fall collection at L'Oreal Fashion Week in Toronto! Karamea's Spring collection is inspired by looking into gardens through wrought iron fences; Michelle's pieces feature large x-ray photographed floral prints and Ashley's jewellery invoked the fences through which you glimpse such beauty. See Collaborations for an example of the work.
