Saydee Chandler

Saydee Chandler is a multidisciplinary maker living and working in Toronto. Her current creative practice builds upon her years of professional experience working in the textile industry, bridging this with her technical skills and training as a goldsmith. She holds a  BDes from the Material Art & Design program at OCAD University and is a graduate of the three-year Jewellery Arts Program at George Brown College. Her work exists as an intersection of sculpture, industrial design and jewellery; creating both functional and non-functional (decorative) objects. Her work has been exhibited across Canada as well as internationally, participating in exhibitions, installations, and research projects in countries such as Austria, France, Romania and China. She is also an alumni of the Artist-in-Residence Program (Metal) at Harbourfront Centre in Toronto. At present, Saydee teaches Goldsmithing to students enrolled in their first year of study in the Jewellery Program at George Brown College.
