Ethical Metalsmiths commented on Heather Skowood's group Recycled Adornments"Hi,
Are you looking for a combination of those materials or casting grain for each one? To my knowledge no supplier of jewelry materials has certified their base metals, such as copper and zinc (basic components of brass) for recycled content. Those…"

Continue What's happening with Radical Jewelry Makeover - Santa Fe!
Posted on April 12, 2011 at 11:28am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Hi,
Right now we are working with the Santa Fe community to bring together student and professional jewelers for the October Makeover. We are re-designing our curriculum to more effectively bring participants up to speed on ethical practices and sourcing for jewelry. We are looking for a house to rent while in Santa Fe (at a non-profit rate (as close to free as possible)) so that all of our project assistants and documentarians can stay under one roof. And we are yes, fundraising. We…

It's great to see Ethical Metalsmiths on here. Have you had a chance to check out the work on my page? I finally started working with the wax and it's turning out nicely. Hope all is well.

Elliot Gaskin said… - Hi Christina,
thanks for the message! I received an email with info and images of the show a few weeks ago. Very exciting! Thank you! Here is my email: Elliotcg@gmail.com
I liked your display cases. It was clever how the old jewelry was in the antique wood crate, that leads you to the new jewelry pieces.
When we talked at Velvet you mentioned you would be creating a catalog with some of the pieces from the SF show. Is that still in the works?
Best,
Elliot

Great seeing you at Miami U. this month! Sounds like you've got an exciting journey ahead of you--can't wait to see how Ethical Metalsmiths blooms as a result!

- Welcome to crafthaus, the network for artists and fine craftsmen/women ! I am very glad you joined us !
Please add your thoughts to the blogs and discussion forums that are already posted. Of course, if there is something else you'd much rather talk about, please add that to the site so that the rest of us can chime in.
I really hope you will enjoy being with this network, and will find the exchanges interesting and fun. The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it, for sure.
Please note that crafthaus is both a fully edited and a member-financed website, meaning that a small annual fee ($20/yr or $35/2yrs) is involved in being a member here. You will find all the necessary information on how to go about this in the FAQs section of the site. Your membership fee is due on or before March 15, 2010 and is payable through paypal (preferred,) US check or credit card.
All images sent to the website will be reviewed to assure some measure of overall quality control. Crafthaus is not a "free-for-all" meaning that not all images sent to crafthaus actually make it onto the website. Members present their work in front of an educated and critical audience (their peers,) so the images have to be GREAT in both content and photo quality. From the many images received daily, we try to post as many as possible.
Crafthaus does not support any kind of commercial solicitation of our membership. Anyone sending out communication of that kind will be suspended from the site.
Finally, if there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me via crafthauseditor@live.com anytime. I will do my best to be of help.
Again: Welcome and enjoy !
Brigitte Martin

SNAG Toronto part 4
I'll leave my Toronto report with a few notes about the conference lectures and presentations. I'd have to say that there certainly was a mosaic of diversity in the 3+ days at the Royal York Hotel. From Damian Skinner's stoic keynote series on the jewelry making/marketing universe in his musical New Zealand accent, through a series of very short "rapid-fire" presentations by a wide variety of artists, to the Professional Development Seminar that lashed the artists and their works to the…See More
