TUKNUT

My name is Laurie and I am an artist of indigenous origin, native of Val-d'Or in Quebec. More precisely; I am part of the Cree Nation and I am proud to be a member of the ID1N (First Nations Identification) entrepreneur movement.

I have always been attracted to jewelry, especially those that are handmade. It’s unmissable when I come across an artisan’s kiosk, I take the time to look at each piece like I was in a museum! I always told myself that one day, I would like to learn how to design a collection to my liking. It was in 2021 that I decided not to wait any longer and to combine my passion for jewelry with my creative side.

TUKNUT is actually a little word that I used affectionately and with humor; to refer to my indigenous friends and family members and which became my nickname.

I assemble with care; each of my TUKNUT jewelry collection; in my workshop located in Gatineau. I like working with stainless steel for its quality and durability; as well as with semi-precious stones, wood and crystals; for their beauty, their colors and their originality.

- Laurie, Proud Indigenous Entrepreneur.

Mon nom est Laurie et je suis une artiste d'origine autochtone, native de Val-d'Or au Québec. Plus précisément; je fais partie de la nation Crie et je suis fière d'être membre du mouvement d’entrepreneurs de l’ID1N (Identification Premières Nations).

J'ai toujours été attirée par les bijoux, particulièrement ceux qui sont faits à la main. C'est immanquable lorsque je croise le kiosque d'un artisan, je prends le temps de regarder chaque pièce comme si j'étais dans un musée! Je me suis toujours dis qu'un jour, j'aimerais apprendre à confectionner une collection à mon goût. C'est en 2021 que j'ai décidé de ne plus attendre et de jumeler ma passion pour les bijoux avec mon côté créatif.

TUKNUT est en fait un petit mot que j'utilisais affectueusement et avec humour; pour désigner mes amis et les membres de ma famille autochtone et qui est devenu mon surnom.

J'assemble avec soin; chacun des bijoux de ma collection TUKNUT; dans mon atelier situé à Gatineau. J'aime travailler avec de l'acier inoxydable pour sa qualité et sa durabilité; ainsi qu'avec des pierres semi-précieuses, du bois et des cristaux; pour leur beauté, leurs couleurs et leur originalité.

- Laurie, fière entrepreneure autochtone.
