Get Stoned Design

Nanaimo,  BC  

Originally from California, Lisa moved to Vancouver Island in the late 80s. A diehard gardener and public servant, she has always been interested in creating things. The family has always supported this with an annual Christmas tradition of a new type of crafting kit to try; in 2014 this included a huge box of jewelry making supplies. The next few weeks were filled with a flurry of creating and in 2015 Get Stoned Design was born in Sooke, BC. Local markets and a small online presence were used to support this new addiction. In 2021, Lisa and her wife moved to Nanaimo to be closer to family (and the rockhounding, but shhhhhh don’t tell the fam!). Over the years she has continued to learn new methods of jewelry making from different wire wrapping methods to silversmithing. She has since retired from public service and spends most of her time in her garden, with family and working happily away in her small workshop practicing new jewelry making techniques and creating beautiful pieces of wearable art.
