PARTICIPATORY SPORT FOR CRAFT ARTISTS
Every day I try and do SOMETHING to move forward with my work. If, at the end of the day, I reflect and find that I have not done any work toward The Aficionado’s ... something-or-other, then I have not done anything to elevate myself and Aficionado Studios... and that is un-sophisticated. As Aficionados, we must maintain a decent level of sophistication, you know... So, while often frantic, working on non-aficionado projects in my studio, I make many idea-notes on the next step for projects that have been put on hold in lieu of other more pressing matters. Eventually, I find time to follow through with my post-it note collection and have something of my own to be proud of.
This month I released the first phase of jewelry to grace "The Aficionado’s Jewelry Collection", the Driven series, which is comprised of jewelry using sterling silver cast screw heads.
Above: assorted studs; below: stackable rings
The collection can be viewed online here.
The next series, working title: Access, will be released in November, and should give you access to some secrets we’ve been keeping...
Hope this piques your curiosity.

For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting in art shows as emerging artists and established artists. Exhibition coverage will be balanced with tips on how to strategically build a legacy over a length of time, in a way that makes sense to your individual goals as an artist and maker.
Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!
