Root 5: A London, UK based pop-up gallery
I recently came across an interesting group of three East London based makers who form root 5, a cooperative whose intention it is to "bring together the innovative, the playful and the maverick; multi-faceted body-orientated projects located outside the mainstream." Goal of the group is to organize pop-up galleries that "support work by artists and designers that have the body and adornment (though not necessarily the adorned body) as a concern and focus."
Needless…

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me.
I came across this wonderful quote by Ira Glass today:
“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not.But your taste, the thing that got you into the…

Enough already with this tired debate: "Is Contemporary Jewellery alive or dead?"
Now you all know that I love my art jewelry just like you, and Kevin Murray is a wonderful person, terrific mind and writer, but ... why are we still having this debate whether art jewelry is "alive"?
Kevin's last sentence really struck me: "The world needs contemporary jewellery."
Really? In what way?
Sorry guys, I think it is the other way around: The world does not NEED contemporary jewelry, contemporary jewelry needs customers! So, in my humble opinion, the…

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
