April First Friday Show!

Get ready! Spring is on the way, and with that comes a return to First Friday goodness! The Gallery is thrilled that our very first First Friday show will feature Annie Ciszak Pazar, the amazing artist behind the Annie’s Arts and Follies jewelry line. Come on out Friday April 7 from 4-7pm to meet Annie and take a look at some gorgeous jewelry that she’ll be bringing us just for this show!

Annie will also be teaching two earring-making classes on Saturday, both of which have already filled up! Seward really showed up for the chance to learn to make your very own bling! After a long winter, things are finally heating up around here and I am here for it! I hope you are, too! See ya on the 7th!

AK Native-made Jewelry

Shearwater gallery has a lovely selection of authentic Alaska Native-made jewelry. Here are a few of my favorites:

Elegant Baleen and walrus ivory earrings by George Wicher of Kodiak/Anchorage.
Carved Walrus ivory earrings by Ken Kiyutelluk of Shishmaref, AK.
Spotted seal, polar bear, and Wolverine earrings (and more) by Marilyn Kuzuguk of Shishmaref, AK.

Always insist on seeing the authenticity tags when purchasing Authentic Alaska Native-made products so you know that the ivory, baleen and other animal products were legally harvested by Alaska Native people. It is illegal to label any item Native-made or Indian-made if it is not made by a recognized tribe member.
