Who's New Tuesday: Warped Metal

It's Tuesday, and you know what that means! We get to meet a new member of the WEST team. Today's newbie is Tim Dwornick

Where are you from? 
Winnipeg

What is your Etsy Shop Name?
Warped Metal 


When you start your Etsy shop?
July 31, 2009

Why did you decide to start an Etsy shop?
I decided to close my brick & mortar storefront for a while to pursue on-lining, so etsy seems to be the perfect replacement venue.

What do you sell?
Jewelry as wearable art


What is your favorite item to make?
Any form of jewelry that's built around a detailed theme, the more conceptual it is the more I like making it.


What are your long-term goals for your business?
My main Etsy goal is to spread my creations worldwide.  I know that's a silly little thing, but it's those silly little things that light up the day, and Etsy has given me great success in selling my jewelry worldwide.

My business goal in the future is to set up a metal-smith studio here in Winnipeg as a 'beehive co-op' model of strategic inclusion of metal and related arts in one place, with shared and rented studio space and high-dollar equipment, a small retail space, and a dedicated focus of members' online profiles.

  1. Aww.. I don't think it's a silly little thing at all to want to spread your creations throughout the world. It's a goal worth striving for! :D
