Join the Alberta Craft Council and the artists of Craft and Science for a Virtual Event, powered by PechaKucha on Monday, June 6, at 6.30pm MDT.

The Craft and Science Exhibition at the Alberta Craft Council Feature Gallery in Edmonton is an exploration of the intersections between Science and Craft. How do these two practices influence and support each other? Both are efforts to learn, and to question and test what we already know through trial and error. Both serve to increase our understanding of the environment and materials around us. Through haptic activity craft artists become experts about their materials and form, relying on traditional methods and knowledge as ground work for further discovery and expression. Likewise scientists have traditional methodologies and a cannon of historical research to study in order to push forward to new understanding and revelation. Both scientists and craft makers begin with an imagined goal or a problem to solve and set out to prove and test their ideas. Can you think of an example from your experience of how craft and science intercept?

Tickets will be available until June 6, 2022, at 6.30pm. You will receive a Zoom link upon registration.
