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.

Space studios are offering 4 residencies for emerging artists working with contemporary technological culture. Proposals are accepted from artists questioning the perception and realisation of the 'wild' through the very technologies we now use to access and form our world. While it is important that artists are engaged with technology in their work, for these residencies, there is more interest in how artists explore technology and its shaping of contemporary experience rather than demonstrations of new technologies and their possibilities. Residencies are based in SPACE's MediaLab, with access to larger space to build work as and where necessary.
Deadline: 18 January 2012

Space Studios

Details
Artists receive a fee of £1200 with a production budget of £500. Visit http://spacestudios.org.uk/whats-on/permacultures/the-really-wild-s...

New Event to Promote Makers

The Crafts Council will launch a major new event in 2013 to champion individual makers and their work, building on the success of the events that it has produced over the years and increasing the range of opportunities for makers to promote their work in different markets.

The event will form a key part of the next phase of the Crafts Council’s work to support the growth of a robust craft sector in a global marketplace. 

“Makers are working in new ways and need new and diverse platforms through which to promote their work. There has been a notable increase in high-quality domestic marketplace opportunities for makers over the last few years which is good news for the craft sector. It is the Crafts Council’s role to create fresh opportunities and identify new ways in which to engage buyers and collectors with contemporary craft and we will design a relevant, distinctive and dynamic new opportunity for 2013.” Rosy Greenlees, Executive Director, Crafts Council

The new event is currently in development and further details will be announced later this year. In order to focus fully on this new event, the Crafts Council will not present Origin in 2012. 

COLLECT will be taking place from the 11-14 May 2012 bringing world-class contemporary craft to the Saatchi Gallery for the fourth year. Visithttp://collect2012.org.uk for more information and exhibiting galleries. 

For press enquiries, please contact media@craftscouncil.org.uk, and for general event enquiries events@craftscouncil.org.uk
