Craft

adept - "a highly skilled or well-trained individual," "thoroughly proficient"

I use high-quality materials to make affordable, durable items for costuming and the home. I strive to become more skilled and produce pieces that will perform well for years. Right now the majority of what I do is Steampunk, Victorian, and similar genres.

Batavia By Sil was created in 2010 by Hamilton artist and designer Sil Frebrian. The materials are made out of upholstery samples and recycled materials found in the neighborhood. The characteristic of her design is the eye-catching handsewn detail on every piece of works in both funky and chic style.
Every piece is one of a kind.
Area of creativity : Handbags, Mittens, Scarves, Hair accessories, Men's accessories, Wall arts, Hats etc.

We create beautiful and affordable gift baskets for occasions such as birthdays, baby showers, condolences, Mother's & Father's day, Christmas and much more.

After university (several thousand years ago) I decided to pursue a career in graphic & web design. But during the years of slaving / working in that field my creative energy was being slowly stifled.

Then one day I stumbled into the warehouse of a local e-waste recycler, with boxes and shelves filled with beautiful and unique baubles, bits and pieces I had a lightbulb moment. I had never really been interested in conventional jewelry and with all these lovely and interesting things within my grasp I became inspired and empowered to create.
