Melissa's Handiwork Melissa's Handiworks creates unique jewelry from new and recycled materials Based in Chilliwack, BC. Hello! My inspiration is deeply rooted in the natural world.

Join her monthly jewelry-making classes at 'Little Beetle' to explore your creativity and make something special! I'm a passionate wire working artist and dedicated instructor, with over a decade of experience in the art of wire jewelry and decorative pieces. My journey in wire art began 11 years ago, and since then, I've been deeply committed to exploring the boundless possibilities that wire off

ers, crafting earrings, pendants, bracelets, necklaces, and more, each with its own story and essence. I find the intricate patterns, delicate textures, and vibrant colors of nature to be endlessly fascinating, and they play a significant role in the designs I create and the lessons I teach. Being outdoors rejuvenates my spirit and fuels my creativity, allowing me to bring a piece of the natural world into every creation. I hold a BA in Indigenous Studies, an education that has profoundly shaped my perspective and practice. I strive to weave my place within the rich tapestry of Indigenous knowledge, respect for nature, and community engagement. It is important for me to promote an environment of learning that is not just about the craft, but also about understanding and appreciation of cultural heritage and values with the permission and acceptance of Indigenous communities and partnerships. On a personal note, my journey has also been shaped by my lived experience with mental health struggles. This aspect of my life has taught me resilience, empathy, and the therapeutic power of art. I am an advocate for mental health awareness, and through my work and teaching, I aim to provide a supportive space where others can find solace and expression through creativity. As an artist and instructor, my mission goes beyond teaching wire working techniques; it's about inspiring others, sharing my love for the natural world, embracing our stories, and supporting each other in our creative and personal journeys.

Life has been pretty heavy lately, and I’ll be honest — I haven’t picked up my wire tools in a while. Grief, sickness, and just life in general have made it hard to find the creative energy.

Tonight I finally sat down with some wire and stones to play around and make a new Tree of Life pendant before teaching my class tomorrow… and it reminded me why I love this so much. Getting lost in the twists and tiny details felt really good. 💛

Tomorrow’s class is sold out, and I’m so grateful for everyone who continues to support my workshops and creative journey, even during seasons when things move a little slower.

Sometimes creativity doesn’t disappear — it just waits patiently until we’re ready to come back to it.

I’m really looking forward to spending tomorrow evening making little wire trees together. 🌳✨

📢 Class Price Update

I wanted to share a quick update with you all. Due to rising supply costs, my class rate will be changing from $15/hour to $20/hour.

This small adjustment will help me continue offering quality materials and creative experiences in every session.

Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support — it means the world to me!

📢 Important Update About My Jewelry Classes!

🗓 Hey everyone! I’m making some changes to how I run my classes. While I’ll still be following our monthly schedule, I will no longer be hosting group classes on the first Saturday of each month.

👥️ Instead, I’m shifting to a more flexible approach—private lessons! You can now book a one-on-one session at a date and time that works for both of us, held at Little Beetle Cafe.

❓️For those of you who have gift card credits or classes booked for specific months—don’t worry! They’re still valid. Just send me a message here on Facebook, and we’ll find a time that works.

🎊 I truly appreciate your patience and flexibility as I navigate these changes. Your support means the world to me!

Looking forward to creating with you soon! ✨
