Tine M Schrijvers Designs
I create a variety of various art pieces, so I will have different types of pieces.
- I work in pencil crayon, watercolour and pen and ink on paper. The works are either framed, matted or slipped into protective sleeves.
- I create works in fired clay which are functional pieces that can be used.
- I also design jewelry pieces using clay, leather and metal ranging from silver, copper and brass and often combined with leather, fabric, beads, stones and various gems.

Stakd Birch
Where art and geography collide.
At Stakd Birch, we transform the landscapes of northwestern Ontario into finely crafted
keepsakes. Working from our home workshop in Murillo, husband-and-wife duo Brian
and Kristin Randall create laser-engraved ornaments, coasters, cribbage boards, and
layered depth maps that celebrate the lakes, rivers, and rugged beauty of the Red Rock
and Nipigon region. Every piece is handmade and locally inspired—crafted to reflect the
places you know and the memories you treasure.
