Kayley Therrien is the designer and craftsperson behind the Edmonton-based jewellery brand Burlap Sac.  Kaley received her training at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco.  Upon completion of her studios, she returned to Edmonton and began working as a bench jeweller for a fine jewellery store.  After honing her skills as a goldsmith, Kayley began longing for a more creative outlet.  In 2004 she began designing and creating her own signature line of jewellery and that year launched the first Burlap Sac collection.

The organic lived-in feel of her jewellery is derived from her childhood memories.  She spent her days collecting small found treasures and storing them away in a burlap sac her grandmother had made.  Inspired by nature and the world around her, she would collect all sorts of items from stones and shells to bits of ribbon and old rusty bolts.  The foundation of her love of unexpected materials and textures began in those early days of collecting.

Kayley is continually pushing her brand towards more sustainable practices and works hard to ensure her materials are ethically sourced.  Specializing in a mixture of material and texture has enabled her to push the boundaries of traditional jewelry and produce unique collections year after year.
