Lily Andersen left the fast-paced film and television industry in Vancouver to attend the jewellery program at Kootenay Studio Arts at Selkirk College in Nelson. Not long after, she opened a shop called the Bench Jewelry Studio where she rented workspaces to other silversmiths and provides a safe and creative work environment for them to fabricate their own collections.
