Boozhoo. Niin Ashley nindizhinikaaz!
Hello, My name is Ashley!
Beading has been a healing journey for me and a way to grieve as well.
As a 2S Nishnaabe born in Renfrew Valley, my roots trace back to L'Île-du-Grand-Calumet where my grandfather was born and baptised by St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church.
I was raised among people who create beautiful things with their hands. Learning woodworking and masonry from him, and crafting and gardening from my grandmother.
Beadwork, which I began with the "brick stitch," weaves their legacies together, aiding me in my healing journey from my grandmother's recent passing. Whether it's inspired by pop culture or tradition, I create to colour our graying world around us.

"The earrings are absolutely stunning and the beadwork is just gorgeous. Ashley was quick to respond to my questions and went above and beyond to make sure I received my earrings as soon as possible, despite the holiday rush. It is clear that Ashley is not only passionate about her beadwork but about providing great service to her clients as well. Will definitely be buying again from this Ottawa gem!"
