About
Made By Hand (2021) is Lake Country Art Gallery's first 2021 member's exhibition since the COVID gallery closures back in 2020. This exhibition examines how we define 'Artisan' through interdisciplinary ways of making. ‘Artisan is defined as only as someone who makes things with his or her hands. Wanda Lock walks with the viewer to various Okanagan artworks that share moments of creation by hand extensions such as tools, materials and techniques.
