The Association for Contemporary Jewellery

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.

Comment by Rebecca Skeels on September 10, 2016 at 8:33am: Call for applications: Talente Competition 2017

Talente was founded in 1980 as international competition for all areas of craft and design. The selected participant can only exhibit once. A participation is only possible until the age of 33 (for the field technique up to 35 years of age). An international jury selects the winners of the "Talente"-Price. The special exhibition is jointly financed by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy and the Bavarian State Ministry for Economics and Media, Energy and Technology.

The aim of Talente is to promote young people with a particular manual talent and to show an interested audience the enormous potential which lies in the new generation in crafts and trades. The works will be the outcome of formal or technical considerations and experiments, showing something new and exceptional.

In an area of 600 m², the works will be shown to a wide audience, with an international jury selecting the winners of the TALENTE prize. An illustrated catalogue will be published.

Participants are chosen from any section of crafts and technology. They will have made the artefact by their own hands. Age limit is set at 33 in the domains of crafts, and at 35 in the domain of technology.
Deadline for all applications will be the 1st October 2016.

Thursday 22 September, 11am - 12.30pm
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/super-talks-the-joy-jeopardy-of-maki...

The Crafts Council presents four of the makers from A Future Made – a programme they created to showcase the best of British craft to audiences in the US and Europe, and which has just returned from showing Nature Lab at Design Miami Basel.

In a discussion led by Crafts Council Creative Director Annie Warburton, makers Juliette Bigley, Marlène Huissoud, Shelly James and Eleanor Lakelin will discuss innovation in process and design and its place in their practice and address questions such as: What drives makers to investigate new processes in making? How does the hands-on nature of craft making encourage deeper exploration of materials?

The talk will be followed by a short Q&A.

Speakers:
Juliette Bigley, Metal & Silversmith
Marlène Huissoud, Experimental Designer
Eleanor Lakelin, Artist & Maker in Wood
Shelley James, Glass Artist

This supertalk is free but booking is required.
