Overview

Collaboration is the name of the game when it comes to exhibitions at Artisan. This gallery is notorious for putting minds together to create unique and thoughtful art works and their latest exhibition is no exception.

Greensmith is a collaborative effort between designers from Queensland and San Francisco. Jewellery is the focus here, as environmental issues are forcing jewellers around the world to rethink their practices and look for greener ways to produce goods. The latest in green design will be on display, with work from both Queensland and San Francisco adorning the Artisan gallery space.

This exhibition looks deep into the issues at hand, with environmentally friendly studio practices and the use of recycled and reclaimed materials adhered to strongly. Check out the exhibition and see a jeweller at work at the pop-up studio in the heart of the exhibition. Greensmith was created by Jewellers & Metalsmiths Group of Queensland (JMGQ) and Metal Arts Guild San Francisco (MAGSF).
