Makers Dozen - Earring Edition

The Makers Dozen collective connects 13 jewellery artists from Southern Alberta, each contributing their unique vision, techniques, and craftsmanship to a shared creative space.

The Makers Dozen - Earring Edition exhibition highlights not only the stunning final pieces but also the artists themselves and their creative processes. Featuring 65 pairs of earrings, it invites visitors to explore a diversity of approaches, ranging from traditional goldsmithing and intricate beading to experimental metalwork.

In addition to the exquisite earrings, the exhibition provides a rare glimpse into the artists' creative journeys. Photos of the artists at work in their studios offer insight into the hands-on techniques and thoughtful decisions that shape each piece. These behind-the-scenes images emphasize the dedication and skill that characterize the jewellery-making process.

Each pair of earrings tells a story through its design and materials, reflecting the journey of its creation. The exhibition celebrates both the individual artistry of each maker and the collaborative spirit that unites the Makers Dozen collective.
