Dear Maker is an interactive online project that collects and presents stories of hand made objects. The project invites members of the public to write a message to a 'maker'. These messages are then collated together on the Dear Maker website, where an anthology will live through and beyond the duration of Radiant Pavilion, accessible for any to read whether they have contributed to the anthology or not. Submissions are anonymous, and can be made online at the Dear Maker website or at mailboxes installed around Melbourne. The project sits at an intersection between making and narrative - a space where people can reflect, share stories and collectively document a history and sentiment of hand made objects and jewellery. Dear Maker is a relational and collaborative project facilitated by artist and jeweller Suse Scholem.
