After studying traditional European jewellery-making methods in Toronto, Bill Reid returned to Vancouver in 1951, establishing a basement workshop for his jewellery. Reid further comments, “With my return to the coast...I began to devote all my creative activities to applying the European techniques I had learned to an expanded application of the old Haida designs to jewellery. Lacking the techniques and equipment I had, the older carvers had been pretty well limited to the making of...engraved bracelets. I was able to extend this into such forms as earrings, brooches, rings, decorated boxes, etc., and to bring to all forms a three dimensional quality the older works had lacked.”
