https://supercrawl.ca/ Rooted in Community. Driven by Discovery. Committed to Arts and Culture. ​2nd Weekend in September. Supercrawl is Hamilton’s premier multi-arts festival, fusing new and independent music with art installations, fashion, performance, literature, theatre, and artisanal craft. Supercrawl’s diverse multi-disciplinary program of sound, performance, visual and media arts is staged along a pedestrian-only creative corridor in the heart of downtown. A dynamic team of Hamilton artists and community builders founded Supercrawl in 2009 out of a desire to expand on the promise of James Street North’s monthly Art Crawl. The festival has gone from a one-day celebration on a single block to a weekend-long experience encompassing over two kilometres of downtown streets, with attendance growing steadily from 3,000 to 250,000 in that time.

Jewelry ( Artist and one of a kind)

https://lauratedesco.com/ Laura Tedesco is no stranger to jewellery. She grew up in a family jewellery business: the historic Venetian Jewellers in Hamilton, Ontario. An inquisitivie little girl with big dreams, Laura used to peer over her father's shoulder as he meticulously sorted through diamonds. At 14, Laura's mother passed away from brain cancer. In this difficult time, Laura suppressed many emotions, struggling to find meaning. It wasn't until a trip to Europe in her 20's where Laura rediscovered her love of jewellery and the powerful healing abilities of expression through art. Studying jewellery design in Florence, Italy through the Gemological Institute of America, Laura learned the artistry of traditional drafting techniques, theory and jewellery design. Her new knowledge in organically sketching her ideas lead Laura on a path of self-discovery, sketching new designs through the streets and landscapes of the Italian countryside. Finding beauty in everything, she created thought-provoking jewellery designs, born from the classical tradition, but distinctively her own. One of Laura's first jewellery designs was designed for herself. The custom design was built around a beautiful marquise diamond left to her by her mother. The key design element is two looped "L's" locked together in infinity. Representing the bond between mother and daughter, but also Laura's infinite love for her mother Linda, a source of inspiration and beauty.

It wasn't until a trip to Europe in her 20's where Laura rediscovered her love of jewellery and the powerful healing abilities of expression through art. Studying jewellery design in Florence, Italy through the Gemological Institute of America, Laura learned the artistry of traditional drafting techniques, theory and jewellery design. Her new knowledge in organically sketching her ideas lead Laura on a path of self-discovery, sketching new designs through the streets and landscapes of the Italian countryside. Finding beauty in everything, she created thought-provoking jewellery designs, born from the classical tradition, but distinctively her own. One of Laura's first jewellery designs was designed for herself. The custom design was built around a beautiful marquise diamond left to her by her mother. The key design element is two looped "L's" locked together in infinity. Representing the bond between mother and daughter, but also Laura's infinite love for her mother Linda, a source of inspiration and beauty.
