is devoted to the promotion, representation, understanding and development of contemporary jewellery in the United Kingdom and abroad.
Founded as a membership association in 1997 and registered as a Limited Company in 2006, it recognises a need to foster discussion, debate and critical review and interaction amongst its members. To this end we organise conferences, lectures, seminars, workshops and an annual general meeting for our members. Our regular newsletter, findings, features reviews, information, comment, book offers and discounts and is of benefit to both our members and the wider public. We also produce a monthly e-bulletin featuring news and opportunities.
We welcome as members practising jewellers, associated designers and crafts people, educators, students, gallery owners and retailers, museum curators, critics and collectors - indeed, anyone with an interest in contemporary jewellery.

Build Your Own: Tools for sharing
http://www.craftscouncil.org.uk/what-we-do/build-your-own?utm_sourc...
A FACT and Crafts Council partnership exhibition in association with Norfolk Museums Service
Build Your Own will explore how digital technologies come together with traditional processes of production to create new ways of working, sharing and collaborating.
New times call for new skills - but the old ones have an important role too. This exhibition will explore what the democratisation of tools really means, whom the emergence of new technologies will affect, and how they connect to traditional craft skills.
Build Your Own will feature four newly commissioned projects by Will Shannon and Assemble, Linda Brothwell, Rachel Rayns and Raspberry Pi and DoES Liverpool and e-NABLE, alongside a series of creative interventions across Liverpool and Norwich, and an inclusive public programme.
Build Your Own: Tools for Sharing launches at FACT from 4 June to 31 August before touring to Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery from 3 October 2015 to 3 January 2016.
