North Bennet Street School Exhibition: Making Matters (In Person)

Featuring displays of typical objects, tools, and materials from our career-training programs, this year’s exhibition is a behind-the-scenes look at the craft and care of making. While many of the works on display could represent almost any era in the history of our School—a deconstructed piano, hand carved brackets, jewelers’ tools, finely bound books—they also reflect the heads-down and hands-on focus of the last two years.

Part science exhibit and part gallery show, the displays offer insight on how craft- and tradespeople create objects that last—be it a chair, a necklace, a book, a lock, a building, or an instrument. With attention and care a recurring theme, the 2022 Exhibition reveals how the act of making matters in our everyday lives.
