Meet Your Maker invites you into the beating heart of contemporary craft and design — a space where tradition meets bold reinvention and where the maker’s hand is ever-present. Through the exceptional work of current Artists-in-Residence at the Craft & Design Studio at Harbourfront Centre this exhibition explores the enduring relevance of skilled making in a world dominated by speed automation and disposability.
Harbourfront Centre’s Craft & Design program is a cornerstone of Canada’s craft landscape – a rare incubator where artists have the time space and support to experiment collaborate and grow their professional careers. From glass metal and ceramics to textiles and contemporary design the residents featured here are not only shaping objects – they are shaping culture.
In this context to “meet your maker” is to engage with the processes politics and poetics of craft and design today. It’s a chance to stand face to face with emerging visionaries who transform raw material into meaning – one thread flame coil or cut at a time.
