Sa Boothroyd


The whimsy of Sa Boothroyd can clearly be seen in these two Digital Reproductions, I am a fox and Kitty out fishing for a little mercury free tuna. These are just two of the many reproductions available. Reproduced from her original paintings each reproduction measures about 12" x 15" and is matted in an acid free white mat ready for framing. We have carried Sa's limited edition coloured etchings for a number of years and we are pleased that we can now offer you her Digital Reproductions too.

Ivan Golletz

Ivan Golletz is one of Village Studios newest artisans. Shown here is Ivan's replica of a Steam Crank Slider Mechanism. The different woods Ivan has used make it an interesting table or desk piece on its own but by simply turning the handle, either way (which makes the crank move backwards and forwards), it becomes a fully working piece of art. The original mechanism would have been massively built in cast iron but this wonderful small wood version is sure to appeal to anyone with an interest in mechanics.

Sandra Goss

Sandra Goss and her husband Andrew Goss are talented jewellers from Owen Sound Ontario. Here we are showing some of Sandra's newer pieces. The drop earrings are sterling silver and turquoise and the Koi Pins are enamels on copper. Each pin is approximately three inches long.
