The Shop at Calgary’s Glenbow Museum offers its own thoughtful collection of treasures.

When Calgary’s Glenbow Museum set out to provide visitors with a new kind of artistic experience in 2014, their efforts didn€™t end with the attraction of world-renowned exhibitions. The museum’s Shop is a masterfully curated collection in its own right; full of hand-crafted jewellery, distinctive home décor accessories, specialty books, unique toys and other treasures. Comprised of numerous one-of-a-kind products made by local, national and international artists, the Glenbow Museum Shop is Calgary’s best-kept shopping secret. Click through for a selection of the Shop’s elegant and unique artistic wares.

A selection of fine jewellery from Calgary designer and metalsmith, Andrea Blais, includes these sterling silver Harvest earrings and pendant with 36€ chain.

Calgary artist Lisa Brawn employs reclaimed and salvaged wood for her beautiful and distinctive painted woodcut blocks.

These hand-thrown, hand-painted and hand-carved works are created by locally-owned White Owl Ceramic Studio.

British Columbia-based Katherine Russell produces mesmerizing one-of-a-kind blown glassware.

Get inspired right down to the tips of your toes with JVJ Designs masterworks-inspired socks.

Talk about moving art: ACAD grad Stephanie Staples€™ €œPeacock on Wheels€€”inspired by a child’s pull toy€”is made of hand-crafted silk fabric feathers on a wooden base.
