Runner-up
Amy Willier Award for Indigenous Artisans
Tufted and Beaded Cuff
By Carmen Miller, Métis Artisan | Made in Hinton
Miller’s tufted and beaded cuffs are slow fashion in the best sense. Miller begins the process by designing the beadwork, then tufting, and finally finishing each cuff with a beaded edge and drawstring antler button. Each cuff is one-of-a-kind and, Miller hopes, will be passed down
as a family heirloom.
This new category honours the memory of Amy Willier — co-owner of Moonstone Creation, Indigenous Knowledge Keeper and artist — who passed away earlier this year. We are honoured to continue Willier’s legacy of promoting Indigenous makers with this award.
