The Alchemist’s palette: A solo Exhibtion of wearable Art by gianine carbone
SAVE THE DATE
AUG 21 | 6 TO 9 PM
Join Liberty Arts and Gianine Carbone for a presentation of work in The Little Gallery at 918 Pearl Street.
For Gianine, jewelry is not just an accessory; it is a dynamic form of personal expression that should constantly evolve. Gianine creates layered and textured pieces that honor the earth through the exclusive use of recycled metals and ethically sourced gemstones. Her foundational material is Argentium Sterling Silver, which is 100% recycled and is valued for its tarnish resistance.

If you have carved a scratch block with us as part of an Iron Pour or Aluminum Pour, you can use the form below to submit your piece to be a part of this monumental exhibition.
