About Charles Funnell, creator of Xude DesignsI believe education to be a lifelong
process that constantly enriches, expands and inspires our lives. In short, I
love to learn! I have a BFA from York
University, a BEd from
the University of
Western Ontario and just
for the sake of learning I have become a certified Gemmologist. I’ve taken
innumerable Continuing Education jewellery and silversmithing courses at George Brown
College and at the Haliburton School of the Arts over the last 15
years. I became so enthralled with silversmithing that I spent 2 years studying
fulltime at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. I have been blessed
to have been inspired by wonderful teachers particularly Lois Etherington Betteridge and Brigitte Clavette.
Their love of what they do is infectious. I also believe that problem solving
is at the forefront of my process and it
is the sheer joy of discovering a solution which keeps me coming back for more.
