SHIBUMI GALLERY is pleased to present PROCESS- Ten Makers, March 21st - April 26th. This show will feature ten artists with varying styles and will reveal their process of creating and making. The show includes photographs of their jewelry-making techniques, pieces that are in process, as well as the finished final works. More images and videos the artists’ processes will also be shown through Instagram and on our blog in the coming months.
Humans have been making jewelry for tens of thousands of years. In fact, some of the oldest known beads date back to 100,000 years ago. Today artisans can choose to make their living using their hands and skills. Yet in a world dominated by technology, machinery and computers, these artisans and their skills are becoming rarer and rarer. In celebration of artists who continue the tradition of working by hand, this show will unveil the craft that go into creating and fabricating their work.
