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.

Gold Museum of New Taipei City Government has laid down the basic foundation of raising the standard of metal crafts in Taiwan with our experience of holding National Metal Crafts Competitions in the last eight years. In 2015, we carry on the spirit of promoting the metal crafts of Taiwan and combine it with the theme of celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Gold Museum. We are now calling for entry worldwide, and looking forward to seeing entrant to break new ground in metal crafting.

Furthermore, in response to New Taipei City's status promotion as well as to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Museum, we have upgraded the scale of competition in 2015 to a higher standard and renamed the competition to “2015 Taiwan International Metal Craft Competition,” providing a wider platform to the art of metal crafts from all around the world and expecting to bring Taiwan's metal crafts more in line with international level. The competition invites metal craft professionals worldwide to participate in the jury, hoping to facilitate the interaction between Taiwanese and international metal craft artists and to stimulate art creations with a sense of contemporaneity and distinctive Taiwanese cultural features.

The competition has two categories: Jewelry and Objects. All entries must be originally created by the entrant(All entries must be created by personal), and metallic material should be the core of the entries. The competition results will be published in an electronic book, while the prize winning artworks will be exhibited in the Exhibition of “2015 Taiwan International Metal Craft Competition.”

"In preparation for cutting metal I mark it out by painting it and tracing the pattern on using carbon paper. I've always liked this process as it reminds me of blueprint plans. I find these simple interim activities are interesting by offering potential but often complete in their own right. The pendants are a continuation of this and examine cut gemstones." -Caroline Griffin 2015

We’re always championing the craft that goes into making great theatre and enjoyed following #LoveTheatreDay on twitter on Wednesday. Now you can also tour the Royal Ballet’s new costume archive in Thurrock and marvel at the hours of skill that go into every production.
