Hello

 

I would like to let you know about an exciting opportunity to promote your work at a unique Craft Fair in Dorking on the weekend of 28 and 29 July 2012.

 

As part of the London 2012 Olympics, the cycling road race passes through Dorking on 28 and 29 July. Official estimates predict over 20,000 visitors to the town at that time.

 

Dorking Halls is on the route of the road race and is planning to make use of this unique opportunity to arrange a Craft Fair showcasing some of the best contemporary craftspeople. To make this event as accessible as possible we will not be charging any admission for visitors.

 

The road race brings with it some logistical issues, in that the road past the venue will be closed for much of Saturday 28 and Sunday 29th. Stall holders will set up on Friday 27 July and can dismantle either on Sunday evening or on the Monday morning. Overnight security will be provided each night so stall can be left set up for the duration. More information is on the attached sheet.

 

I have attached an Application Form and some information for your consideration. If you are interested in taking a stand, you will need to return the Application Form to me by 20th April. After that there will be a selection process and we will then contact you to let you know if we can offer you a space and ask you to complete an Acceptance Form. 

 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, though I am on leave from 12-16 March. If you need to speak to someone before then you can call Stuart Cole on (01306) 879314.

 

I look forward to hearing from you,

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Keith Garrow,

General Manager,

Dorking Halls.

I just wanted to let you know that we're offering a 25% discount on our Made By Ore Master Classes to all Full Time students, to make them a bit more affordable.  If you could pass this on to your students and anyone else you think might be interested that'd be great!  We've also added a little 1 Day Soldering Masterclass, which might be of interest to all your jewellers, silversmiths and metalwork students.  I've attached a flyer/poster to this email, which you can forward straight on.

We are also offering "Hot Benches" to students/jewellers and silversmiths, which can be rented for just £15/day, so if any of your students need a space to work over the Easter/Summer Hols or after graduation then we'd be more than happy to accommodate them!   I've attached a poster for this too. http://www.madebyore.com/Easter-Master-Classes(2673270).htm

Diamond Jubilee Exhibition 2012

 

Press release / 06 03 12

 

 

The Association for Contemporary Jewellery is proud to be presenting a touring exhibition of jewellery specially designed and made on the theme of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

Thirty two makers have created pieces especially for the event, resulting in a wide variety of individual interpretations in precious and non-precious materials.  All the participating designers have embraced the theme of Jubilee celebration with style, irreverence, humour and panache. Crushed gemstones, sweets and jellies, ribbon, graphite powder, flocked and sublimated materials, rub shoulders with diamonds, silver and 18ct gold, in a glorious celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s sixty years reign.

All the pieces were selected by a distinguished judging panel chaired by

Professor Jack Cunningham, which included Corinne Julius, Jacqueline Gestetner, Joanna Hardy, Kath Libbert and Karen Dell’Armi.

Leading jewellery designers taking part include Stephen Bottomley, Kelvin J Birk, Maria Hanson, and Zoe Robertson.

The exhibition opens at the School of Jewellery, Birmingham City University, and then starts its tri-nation tour to Llantrisant, South Wales before showing at the newly opened Goldsmiths’ Centre, London – the first exhibition to be held there after its’ own opening Royal exhibition. This is a testament to the Association’s high profile, and to the Centre’s commitment to showing work in non-traditional as well as traditional materials, and used in non-traditional ways.

 

ACJ Diamond Jubilee Exhibition at-

Birmingham School of Jewellery, March 12 to 30;

Llantrisant Gallery, April (dates tbc)

Goldsmiths’ Centre, Clerkenwell, London, June 11 to 16;

SH Gallery, Edinburgh, July 2 to 28;

North Glasgow College, August 27 to 31.

 

For further information see www.acj.org.uk 

For high res images of the jewellery, please contact chair@acj.org.uk .
