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.

The RSC unveil beautiful star installation
The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) is marking the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death with a season of exhibition and events.
On the 23 April 2016, on Shakespeare’s birthday and the 400th anniversary of his death they will unveil the newly-restored Grade II listed Swan Wing. Built in 1879 is the oldest part of the RSC’s theatres in Stratford-upon-Avon.
A highlight of the restored Swan Wing is For all time, a major new artwork commission by Brighton-based artist and designer Steven Follen.
For all time is made of 2,000 stainless steel stars suspended from the ceiling by fine wires to make the shape of a 3-metre tall human face. The face is surrounded by further metal stars, which loosely reflect the position of the constellations on Shakespeare’s birthday.
In other craft-related Shakespeare activity – the RSC is also exhibiting Well Said! – an exhibition of the playwrights’s most memorable quotes transformed by makers into artworks. Gary Breeze has carved a quote from Hamlet into a stone orb, the Brilliant Sign Company takes on Midsummer Night’s Dream and Karina Thompson embroiders a quote from The Tempest.
