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.

Jewellery Being Worn:
One of my policies for Findings is to picture jewellery being worn, and where possible not just on pretty young
female models! If you see a great image of contemporary jewellery being worn, bring it to my attention. It
may spark something. Contact: info@poppyporter.co.uk.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Following the success of our Train the Trainers event in Birmingham, The Hand Engravers Association is currently making plans to hold a similar event in Liverpool. Watch this space...
In his continuing campaign for apprenticeship funding, Chris Rowley is due to meet the government Minister responsible for apprenticeships on 14 July. We hope to be able to report back soon, although we know this is likely to be a long process with no instant answers.
Meanwhile, Chris Rowley and Alan Craxford's mentoring scheme is starting to bear fruit, with apprentice John Farnham flourishing under Alan's guidance. We look forward to sharing his progress with you in the next newsletter.
ART IN ACTION
Dates: 16-19 July, Waterperry Gardens, Oxfordshire
We are delighted that both Wayne Parrott and our new chairman Angus McFadyen have generously given their time to demonstrate at this four day art and craft event in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside. The event brings together over 400 artists, craftsmen, performers and musicians to demonstrate and sell their work. For more information about the event, click here. Plans are afoot for The Hand Engravers Association to have an even bigger presence at next year's event, which we hope will include demonstrations by our own apprentices.
