Leslie Zemenek
Victoria, BC. Canada

I’ve been a maker all my life but only recently began working in
metal. I am hooked. It’s the perfect medium for my temperament. I
inherited my love of tools from my dad and my love of jewelry from
my mom. Back in the 80s and early 90s I was quite famous for my
earring collection.

Prior to becoming a jeweler I worked as a clothing designer, an
architect, a pastry chef, a painter, an astrologer and a
business owner. I’ve also taught lots and lots of classes on
everything from web design to palm reading.

A former Oregonian, I currently live in Victoria, BC with my
husband, cat, and giant standard poodle.
