Built from a lifelong love of dressing up in her grandmother’s vintage clothing and jewels, Stephanie Menard carries an array of her own jewellery made on site in her attached studio, which speaks to the high quality and delicate process that has always gone into jewellery making. She also supports other local artists with their wares for sale in her Hastings-Sunrise shop and opens her studio for classes and tours to see the magic, artistic process at work.
