Jennifer Dewey left a comment for John Lunn"No problem... Hope you can get in! Looks like it would be impossible to add you to my badge, unless I employ you. :). I'm not going to be stuck at the shows, as I'm there for a few days, so I'm game for having lunch or seeing…"

Jennifer Dewey left a comment for John Lunn"I buy gemstones and have attended AGTA shows in past... There is a "designer" or "manufacturer of jewelry" type option when applying and you just need to have a business license and a business card. It shouldn't be a problem…"
John Lunn left a comment for Jennifer Dewey"Tiny tools sound perfect.
I see on the JCK site that you have to be a jewelry buyer or exhibitor to participate. Are you one of these, or is there a third way?
I just assumed Rio Grande would give me access, but now I'm not so sure."
Jennifer Dewey left a comment for John Lunn"Ahhh... I guess I meant "classring" maker... Retired from a company and his children were selling his well loved tools on EBay. They are often listed on there. If I have duplicates I'll bring them to Vegas with me to see if you want…"
John Lunn left a comment for Jennifer Dewey"Oooh..who was the classmate that made the tools? I make some of my own but I almost prefer to have them done. Liza Nechamkin is another master chaser in New York area who made me some tools. She worked for Tiffany for years and does some amazing…"
Jennifer Dewey left a comment for John Lunn"It is quite a financial commitment... I think I'll try and save up for a Brooklyn class to further my studies with Val. You're fortunate to have one of his mini sets! A rarity for him to make minis, I believe...
I have the set he uses in…"
John Lunn left a comment for Jennifer Dewey"I'd love to do one of Valenin's workshops abroad. Sounds like a blast. Alas, no money, no time, no way.

I'll let you know what I find out. If it does or doesn't pan out - either way - let's find time to hang out and get to know each other.

Oooh..who was the classmate that made the tools? I make some of my own but I almost prefer to have them done. Liza Nechamkin is another master chaser in New York area who made me some tools. She worked for Tiffany for years and does some amazing stuff. You might think of studying with her if you've a mind to travel that far.

I've not heard of Fabrizio Acquafresca but just looked him up. Interesting work. I'm working in miniature and not sure where to guidance. I'm combining the high relief of the European style with mini jewelry work. I had Valentin make me a set of mini tools several years ago that are invaluable.

Nice work, Jenn. I see in your website bio you studied with Valentin. Did you go to Brooklyn or do one of his European tours?

Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately
- 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!
