Welcome to Spirit Works Limited; makers of authentic, skillfully hand-crafted, northwest coast Aboriginal artwork
All of Spirit Works’ pieces are authentic and hand crafted here in British Columbia by First Nation’s People, using materials primarily harvested from British Columbia. In addition Spirit Works goes to great lengths to seek out recycled, salvaged, and sustainably produced materials for all its finely crafted pieces.
Bentwood Boxes
In British Columbia, we as First Nation Peoples used unique, and beautifully adorned traditional containers to store our most precious possessions. These containers are commonly known as "Bentwood Boxes". Aside from their decor, one of the aspects distinguishing the Bentwood Box from other wooden Boxes lied in its construction. The body of the container is constructed using only a single piece of West Coast Cedar.

Traditional Wooden Jewelry
Historically, as indigenous coastal peoples, we would adorn ourselves with striking jewelry made of wood, copper, bone, shell, and various types of stone or gems. These pieces would normally have a meaning or story behind them reflecting the personality or experience of the wearer. In this tradition, Spirit Works has created a line of traditional wooden jewelry, with each piece having its own symbolic meaning.

Paddles
In Coastal First Nations’ cultures the paddle is very significant. It is symbolic of the journeys made from far off lands by visitors to our shores. It represents the coming together of diverse groups. Even more so, it represents the partnerships we commit to, and our collective direction.
When one paddles along with you, at your side, together you are working toward the same goal; committed to the same vision; and heading for the same place. When we offer a paddle as a gift, it is to say, “we pull together as one”.

Silver Jewelry
Spirit Works designs and produces a line of exquisite silver jewelry. Each piece is cast, polished, and inlaid with our most beautiful abalone shell. Each one of these unique pieces comes in an actual authentic miniature bentwood box steamed out of a single piece of Western Red Cedar. In keeping with our stringent environmental commitments, the wood for the box is recycled or salvaged, and the abalone shell is derived as a byproduct of a farmed food fishery, and completely sustainable.
