Fingerprints of the Ocean - Cuttlefish Casting at Studio Surf

Hi, I'm Jasmine, co-owner of Studio Surf art gallery in Marion Bay, Yorke Peninsula.Silversmith, art teacher, conservationist, traveller and mother of two. I love to make jewellery, art and create things with my hands.As an artisan jeweller I predominantly work with sterling silver and sea glass to create unique, ethical and sustainable jewellery.  All my silver is recycled and the repurposing of beach glass promotes marine conservation, which I am passionate about.  I use a wide range of methods, and am constantly learning new techniques.A﻿s a regional  art facilitator and teacher, I love to share my skills and passion for art. I host after-school, holiday and regular art programs for children, adults, community and NDIS participants with the aim of bringing a variety of quality arts experiences to our regional participants. I work across all mediums and develop programs to suit a variety of people.  My long term programs are developed in conjunction with participants to ensure maximum engagement and benefit. From pottery, printmaking, painting and drawing to performing arts, costume design and textiles, the only limit is our combined imaginations.Sharing my skills with others is something I love even more than creating on my own.  It is truly something special to be able to help inspire and assist others to expand their imagination and create something fabulous.
