is devoted to the promotion, representation, understanding and development of contemporary jewellery in the United Kingdom and abroad.
Founded as a membership association in 1997 and registered as a Limited Company in 2006, it recognises a need to foster discussion, debate and critical review and interaction amongst its members. To this end we organise conferences, lectures, seminars, workshops and an annual general meeting for our members. Our regular newsletter, findings, features reviews, information, comment, book offers and discounts and is of benefit to both our members and the wider public. We also produce a monthly e-bulletin featuring news and opportunities.
We welcome as members practising jewellers, associated designers and crafts people, educators, students, gallery owners and retailers, museum curators, critics and collectors - indeed, anyone with an interest in contemporary jewellery.

Makers will have time to reflect and formulate their thinking and approach to their practice and to explore how the craft of making is linked to ways of looking at and valuing craft. Making Space will support each maker in developing events, which could take the form of an exhibition or installation, and talks and workshops to engage peers and public.
The first studio award has been made to Deryn Relph, knit designer, who will take up residence from 1st September.
