The Retro Show

I attended the opening of Zilberschmuck Art Jewellery’s National Juried Exhibition “Connection” on Thursday evening. Running concurrently with that exhibition (see the outstanding work here) is “The Retro Show”, a retrospective of past shows organized by Zilberschmuck.

It was standing room only at Shao Design, which was hosting the event. Cheryl Fraser, owner of Zilberschmuck, gave an emotion filled speech welcoming everyone, and thanking Shao Pin Chu for opening his studio for the show. It was great to see lots of familiar faces and to meet a few new friends.

Two of my pieces from the Karen Kelly Fashion Show (2004) are included in The Retro Show, and I was able to snap this photo of the case:

The exhibitions continue until May 30, 2009. Directions here.

Zilberschmuck Retrospective April 19-May 30, 2009, at Shao Design, Toronto

I’m pleased to announce that two of my pieces will be included as part of a Zilberschmuck Retrospective, being held concurrently with “Connection”, the 5th annual National Juried Exhibition of Canadian Fine Jewellery and Metalwork.

The tiara and necklace were originally shown in 2004 as part of a Toronto Fashion Week event showcasing the bridal and couture designs of Karen Kelly. That event was hosted by Zilberschmuck Art Jewellery and featured the jewellery of gallery artists.

“Connection” and the Retrospective will exhibit from April 19 to May 30, 2009 at Shao Design, 55 Mill Street, Building 9, Distillery District, Toronto (located at the south parking lot off Parliament Street).
