End of another academic year, I've cleared my bench of everything to allow the summer-school lecturer to use it. As some of you already know, I am off to PITTSBURGH next week and will be at the SCC for a short while. I'm always keen to meet other metalsmiths: feel free to get in touch if you are able to meet…

Recently the AJF asked us to complete a questionnaire as a way to introduce Gallery Loupe to the larger contemporary jewelry community. We decided to re-print it here so that you can get to know us better too.

I recently found out that merry renk passed away and feel an obligation to say something in fitting tribute. In a time when yesterday is so often considered "old hat", it is wonderful to know that merry renk lived long enough to see her jewelry from mid-20th century recognized in major museum exhibitions.…

Well, it is all over for another year. The work is done, the results are out and my students are off into the big bad world. Last night (Friday) was the first night of their degree show - which they shared with the BA Visual Arts students - and I have to say that I am very proud of their efforts.
For various reasons, notably the late-arrival of the all-essential bar, I've not had a chance to photograph everyones' work, so I will be posting later next week with updates of photographs…

I was asked for a recommendation for on-demand printing of catalogs. I have never done this myself, so I thought I would ask the crafthaus community:
Who is your favorite on-demand catalog printer and why? Could you please tell me your experiences (either good or bad) and talk about quality and prices ?
Thank you!!
