Susan Ellenton
Susan’s work brings together her love of nature, interest in technical innovation, and exploration of body-centred knowing. Although better known as a musician and naturalist, Susan has been creating in silver since 1973, when she took her first job assisting a hippie silversmith in Auckland NZ. In recent years she has been particularly focused on sintering techniques and is the first Canadian to achieve international accreditation in this field throughout the Metal Clay Masters Registry.

Raincoast’s in-house scientists, collaborating graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors make us unique among conservation groups. We work with First Nations, academic institutions, government, and other NGOs to build support and inform decisions that protect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the wildlife that depend on them. We conduct ethically applied, process-oriented, and hypothesis-driven research that has immediate and relevant utility for conservation deliberations and the collective body of scientific knowledge.
We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
