Jeweler Christine Mackellar, Gowanus, to Exhibit @ American Fine Craft Show @ Brooklyn Museum Nov. 19-20
Six Brooklyn artisans and a fine artist exhibit and sell their work in time for holiday shopping at Brooklyn Museum along with 83 others
Christine Mackellar whose studio is in Gowanus, joins three other jewelers, a potter and fine artist who also work in Brooklyn and are among 90 exhibitors at the fourth American Fine Craft Show Brooklyn at Brooklyn Museum, November 19-20. The tickets to the show, in the regal Beaux-Arts Court, include general admission to the Museum.
The show is produced and curated by An American Craftsman Galleries that has supported crafts artists since 1982, longer than any other gallery in New York City, representing the work of over 500 from across the country.
Mackellar specializes in natural forms—leaves, blossoms and twigs—for her bracelets, earrings, necklaces, pins and rings that she designs and produces in her jewelry studio in Brooklyn’s Gowanus section. Her jewelry is handcrafted at the bench from gold and silver using time-honored techniques. Recipient of awards and recognition, her work has been included in countless gallery exhibits and juried craft shows. In 1993 Mackellar, who is also a member of the American Craft Association and Society of North American Goldsmiths, was commissioned to create a White House Christmas ornament.
