SEEING RED - The Craft Council of B.C. June 29, 2017

Curated by Barbara Cohen, this show runs from June 29-August 10th and is well worth seeing. I highly recommend these statement hand made, one of a kind pieces, as well as the rest of the gallery/store: The Craft Council of B.C. at 1386 Cartwright, Granville Island.

Each piece featured the powerful colour, red. My favourites were by Barbara Cohen and Pamela Richie but there were 54 pieces, in total. This exhibit, as Barbara points out, goes beyond ornamentation. ...the ever growing field of contemporary art jewelry pushes those limits with unusual ideas, materials, techniques and concepts and moves jewelry toward the realm of Art. So beyond necklaces, earrings and bracelets to sculptured Art forms.


Everyone dressed up for this event. I wore red coral beads and many 
of the Artists wore their spectacular work. John and Judy wore red hats 
that Judy had created. She's from New Orleans and always dresses!






Loved "Two Women" sculpted by Linda Doherty, too. 
So much to see and wear. I want it all! See more at craftcouncilbc.ca.
