話匣子英語:珠寶設(shè)計(jì)師西娜

哈皮請(qǐng)來了西娜，西娜的媽媽曾經(jīng)是珠寶設(shè)計(jì)師，她因此而對(duì)珠寶設(shè)計(jì)感興趣。長大后在日本留學(xué)，同時(shí)也從事珠寶設(shè)計(jì)。

Sheena: Sure. My name’s Sheena. I’m from the east coast of Canada, a place called

Nova Scotia, and I’ve been living here in Montreal for about nine months

now, and before that I moved from Japan where I was living for about three

and a half years. Yeah, I was in Japan teaching English and also making

jewelry.

Harp: Wow, OK! So, I went to your website today and your jewelry designs are

amazing. So tell me, you went to school for jewelry design or how did you

get started?

Sheena: Yes. Well, actually my mother was a jeweler when I was a child, and she

stopped when I was about eight years old. So, it was always something that I

was a little bit interested in, but it was in the back of my mind. But I started

studying art at university, and when I was in my second year I started to try

the jewelry program and I realized that it was something I liked and I did a

major in jewelry design and metalsmithing and I graduated in 2004.

Harp: So, where do you draw inspiration for your pieces?

Sheena: I’ve lived in a lot of different places, so I get a lot of inspiration from the

people that I’m around and the way that people interact when they’re in

situations where they don’t have language or when they can’t communicate

using words. So body language, or the way that people interact with one

another, also nature, different forms, patterns that I may see from plants, ice,

sand. Things like this.
