Black Hen Studio

Crafting for both function and adornment, Michael and Susan's designs are inspired by the natural history of Newfoundland and Labrador. Michael transforms foraged metal to create beautiful hand-forged knives and silver jewellery embellished with local stones and antler. A master of traditional natural dye and hand embroidery techniques, Susan creates joyful textiles of antique silk, wool and local materials she grows and forages from around their studio.
