To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the metmuseum's reimagined Islamic galleries, the Met Store is touting artisans and age-old craftsmanship techniques through “The Heirloom Project.”
Their designs and other creations will be sold and will evolve throughout this year. The personal stories of the makers will also be told in the months ahead, according to Morgan Pearce, The Met’s general manager of marketing, licensing and partnerships.
Shoppers will find some of the artisans in The Met Store between 1 and 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday and Monday. Acknowledging some of the hiccups caused by the pandemic, Pearce said the event should be a nice moment now that everyone has “come through and made it through as a collective.”
The idea of doing something “more authentic and personal” was the idea that Weinrib presented with an emphasis on artisanship, handmade goods and their beautiful qualities that cannot be duplicated on a mass scale, she said. “We’re so proud to get to work with such a wonderful group of artisans who have engaged so thoughtfully with The Met and have put so much effort and care into creating pieces despite all the challenges in COVID[-19].
