ABOUT

Emma Cutri moved to Melbourne to study fashion at RMIT, then worked as a teacher before starting her successful label SISTER Studios with her friend Alice six years ago. Ruby Cannava grew up in a house full of artists, studied art at VCA, then fell in love with jewelry while living in New York. She came home to Melbourne to study silversmithing at Melbourne Polytechnic and start her business Kannava Jewels. Emma and Ruby have been friends for a decade and lived together for the last five years. Their home life consists of looking after their matching poodles Bilbo and Beanie, making their house look beautiful, cooking and doing creative things like still life painting, ceramics, mosaics and candle making. Blazed Wax is their first venture together.
