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.

I've Been Blogged http://juneonbusiness.com/2015/05/13/on-my-desk-rebecca-skeels/ thank you Alexis Dallas.
On my desk : Rebecca Skeels
Contemplation is creativity’s best bud..
My working day tends to start listening to a podcast while eating breakfast (lately its been accidental creative podcasts or 99U podcasts). I teach most days, so I will go into work early, have a coffee, clear e-mails, prep for the day and go and teach. This varies from BA to MA, workshop to seminar, costings to drawing to making.I usually stay late sorting out the next days activities, prepping handouts, publicity, marketing, interviews and so on. Some interviews include meeting the Jewellers and Silversmiths Network, meetings at the New Ashgate Gallery, going to exhibitions in Farnham, University for the Creative Arts (UCA) or London, and going to talks at the Crafts study centre.
Evenings include speaking to my partner on Facetime after dinner; he’s currently working in Norway. The week varies a lot, the weekends I sort out home e-mails, work in my workshop or on my sketchbooks and dig my garden.
So I can’t get by without my breakfast, making time, reflecting time and sketch book. And most of all I really wouldn’t know what I was doing without my diary.Sketching and writing allows time to think, improve and change, There is always something to show for the time and efforts. And always time to share and encourage others too.
Creativity and developing my thoughts, ideas and skills makes me ‘me’.
