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.

Director of Stour Valley Arts in Kent, where we work with artists in the natural environment.
We have transformed our Forest Office into a simple but brilliant Forest Studio, to be used by artists working in any art form. If you want to explore King’s Wood and be inspired, test a new idea or way of working, or just get some distance of the day-to-day routine of the studio, this could be for you.
For 2014, use of the Forest Studio is free of charge and can be booked for periods between 2 and 6 weeks. For further information and how to apply, please see <a href="http://stourvalleyarts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/SVA_Forest_Studio_app1.doc">SVA_Forest_Studio_app1</a>
King's Wood is at the heart of Kent, near Ashford International train station. Ashford International is 38 minutes from London St Pancras, and close to the coastal towns of Margate, Whitstable, Folkestone and Dover, and on mainline train routes to Brighton and Hastings.

Smiths Row is running a series of professional development days for makers.
The sessions are designed for those with 5+ years experience but would also be suitable for those with 2+ years experience.
We are also happy to consider applications from artists as well as makers.
The first session will be on 17 February - and will focus on business development - we still have places available for this session - please call us directly and ask to speak to Lisa King to register interest.
The following sessions will look at writing about your work for the press and working on commissioned projects.
Full details of all three sessions is attached along with an application form to apply for a place on the 2nd and 3rd sessions.
I would be really gratefully if you could forward this email to artists or makers that may be interested in this programme.
With best wishes

Review of 2013
Welcome to 2014, belatedly. For me the New Year starts properly after the Chinese New Year celebrations which were held in Chinatown and Trafalgar Square and finished with spectacular fireworks. 2014 is the year of the Horse, a year full of galloping energy and change.
For Hidden Art, 2013 has been a busy year full of exciting events. We moved offices to Stamford Hill last October. Although our new office is considerably smaller, we instantly fell in love with it due to is cosiness and the fact that it came fully equipped with its own cooker, oven and shower! We’ve already put the oven to good use to prepare a delicious turkey for Christmas. The shower, however, has only served to drain our drenched umbrellas…so far.
We made a calendar with pictures of events from the previous year from Open Studios, to Milan and the move to our new premises. We liked the pictures so much that we put them in a blog post for you to see. Look closely as some of you may spot yourselves in those pictures! Hidden Art in 2013
July saw the launch of our own e-shop. After being kindly hosted at Culturelabel since early 2012 we managed to bring www.hiddenartshop.co.uk back to life again. That was perhaps the proudest moment of 2013.
We also ran a range of 1-2-1 sessions on a wide variety of topics, including product development, marketing and 3D Printing. For more details read the reports below
