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 20, 2015 at 8:23am: Celebrate your mentor: tweet #mymentor

We want to know who has inspired you in your career.

DATE: 16 September 2015, 09:00 — 30 September 2015, 17:00

We believe that the creative industries are such a success because of the many people who are committed to passing on their skills and knowledge.

In order to celebrate the launch of the 2016 Creative & Cultural Skills Awards, we want you to tell us who these people are.

Who is the manager that took the time to train you? The mentor that inspired you? The person that went the extra mile to give you the tools to succeed in your creative career?

Tell us on Twitter using #mymentor. We'll be retweeting many of your tweets from @CreativeChoices and @CCSkills.
