Canadian artists are spotlighted in the museum’s vast collection of handcrafted jewellery. Among local artists on offer, Kari Woo’s chic sterling bracelets and necklaces can be found here, along with adornments produced by First Nations artists, such as Haida and Coast Salish rings, cuffs and pendants. Jewellery made by African and Asian artisans add to the shop’s international flavour.
Downtown shoppers will find a small but attractively eclectic selection of Christmas ornaments at the Glenbow Museum gift shop. Wood, hand-blown glass and ceramic tree trimmers feature animal imagery such as bears and lambs as well as decorative patterns. Also find initialed ornaments and a special orb depicting with the Calgary skyline at nighttime.
