anne havel said… you're not going to learn anything from me. i could learn tons from you though. i sort of muddle my way through every piece i make. i have no formal training at all. i've seen your work! you should apply. i think you don't realize how good you are and shouldn't sell yourself short. just remember one thing, bifei. the worst that can happen is they say no and you are no worse off than where you started. nothing ventured, nothing gained. these are wise words. i'm going to tell jennifer to talk you into applying. now watch out for the big gun. you will be at SNAG this year?

The Justified Sinner posted a blog postWhat Have I Been Up To?
Since returning from Istanbul, it has been non-stop in the workshop, preparing work for orders and making some new pieces too. I've sidelined a number of works-in-progress in order to get on with more pressing issues, so there are no updates on my Chanel-inspired piece or my tribute to Alexander McQueen, though I have progressed apace with my first foray into electronics in jewellery, "14th Century Nightlife" which I hope to finish finally this coming week after it sitting on my bench for…See More

- by Rebecca Rose. 2013, SNAG/crafthaus Scholarship Recipient
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!
