Meet Our Crafters
Every artifact has a maker — every maker, a tale.
Here you’ll meet the artisans whose hands shape the treasures of Wyld Sage Wares. We believe collaboration is the finest magic of all. Step through the workshop door and meet the hearts behind the craft.
♦ Melissa Sohm, Ironsmith Creatrix ♦
Born in Magnetawan and now nestled between the misted reaches of Agassiz, British Columbia, Melissa Sohm is a multimedia artist whose hands move easily between worlds - fibre, paper, metal, and the found treasures of the land itself. A lifelong creator, she returned to the Haliburton School of Art and Design in 2020 to study the ancient discipline of blacksmithing. She now forges her love of traditional craft incorporating modern technique.
From her forge - where the belly fires glow at the edge of the mountains - Melissa works her anvil like a ritual altar, coaxing raw ore into magical forms with each resonant strike. The spirit of the owl watches over her hand, guiding her intuition as she blends salvaged metal, river-worn stone, and objects gathered from the wyld places she wanders near the Fraser River and Harrison Lake. Every piece she creates is singular, shaped by nature’s offerings and impossible to replicate, a relic born from imagination and the land it reflects.
♦ Clare Silverhand, Torch-Mistress of Primordial Gems ♦
Deep in the dwarven forges beneath the Wyld Peaks, the rhythmic ringing of hammer on silver can often be heard — the song of Clare Silverhand, Torch-Mistress and Keeper of Primordial Gems. Her craft is no mere adornment; each piece she shapes carries with it the weight of myth and memory, the kind of relic that binds past to present, present to future.
Drawn since childhood to the whispers of ancient stones, Clare honed her art with fire, hammer, and patience until she could coax meaning into metal and soul into gemstone. Where others see ornament, she sees story — retelling the sagas of goddesses, warriors, and forgotten voices through silver bands and mythic talismans.
Now, her treasures are offered through Wyld Sage Wares, brought forth by her husband, the wizard known as Jason the Wyldcrafter, so that seekers across the realms may find the jewel or charm that was always meant for them.
♦ Julianne Dreamweaver of Ggümm Studio ♦
Julianne is the dream-spinner behind Ggümm Studio, a Taiwanese-Korean wanderer who roams between realms collecting small moments of comfort and turning them into charms for the everyday. Inspired by the quiet magic of handcrafted home goods in Korea, she began weaving her own spells in 2020, starting with crochet headphone covers that wrap modern artifacts in warmth and whimsy.
From her cozy workshop in Vancouver, BC, Julianne and her family guild stitch, loop, and shape each piece by hand - headphone covers, dolls, and home treasures - blending Korean aesthetics with practical enchantment. She also crochets the handmade familiar hats for Wyld Sage Wares, crafting each one to mirror the colour and personality of its witch or wizard counterpart, so familiars may walk beside their keepers in matching style. Every stitch is a ward against grey, ordinary days; every piece an invitation to build a little sanctuary around your senses, wherever your adventures (or commutes) may lead.
♦ Kylee Bowman, Mildly Mad ♦
From deep within my tangle of briars and spellwork, I gather castaway jars and breathe new life into them. With clay, charm, and a dash of mischief, I coax them into mushroom houses, tiny sanctuaries where sprites rest, secrets linger, and shadows play.
I sculpt every curl of vine, every cracked stone step, every crooked window by hand. No two grow the same; the forest decides their shape, and I merely guide its will. These jars love to hold trinkets, stolen glimmers, potions, or keepsakes, and if you place a light inside, they glow like homes for wandering fae.
Take one home, human. It may bring you luck… or interesting trouble.
♦ Nikolas Benedikt, Master Engineer of Legendary 3D ♦
Born of High Elven lineage, Nikolas carries an inherited attunement to the quiet intelligence of Nature and the unseen patterns woven through all things. Shaped by his own relentless experimentation, he has forged his craft through equal parts discipline, curiosity, and discovery—honing his skills through trial, persistence, and hard-earned insight.
With an instinct for recognizing the archetypes behind form and function, he channels this perception into creating artifacts that feel both timeless and innovative. His work blends refined design with modern fabrication, brought to life through the process of 3D printing. Among his creations are pocket-sized ocarinas that sing with enchanting melodies, each one imbued with a touch of Elven resonance. He also guides others into forging their own Legendary Saber through personalized customization and imaginative expression.
Through this alchemy of wisdom and technology, he brings forth creations that are truly Legendary.
