Estonian Association of Jewellery and Blacksmiths' annual exhibition "THIS IS ME"

Annual exhibition of the Estonian Association of Jewellery and Blacksmiths
“THIS IS ME”
July 4 – September 1

It has become a tradition for the Estonian Association of Jewellery and Blacksmiths to bring their annual exhibition to the summer capital of Estonia. In 2022, the members of the association introduced us to the world of modern jewellery. Last year, they were inspired by the museum’s own exhibition “Kings and Guards”, showcasing pieces related to the sea and Vikings.

This year the artisans invite you to see who they are. Without giving them a theme nor placing them in a box, they exhibit materials and styles close to their heart. Whether it is silver, gold, iron, wood, semi-precious stone, amber, birch tree bark – each piece is unique, carrying its maker’s character.

Yet, the jewellery share two common qualities: practicality and aesthetics.

Exhibition “THIS IS ME” presents the work of 27 artists and 100 pieces.

On July 12-14, the members of the association invite you to the exhibition’s pop up shop.
