The Association for Contemporary Jewellery

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.

The Crafts Council is looking for traditional and digital craft makers to plan and deliver workshops on our flagship craft education programme Make Your Future.
 
The project is a major new nationwide initiative to ignite a passion for craft among 6000 young people in secondary schools and enable them to discover their craft and making talents. Workshops will be taking place in Birmingham, Leeds and London.
 
The successful makers/digital makers will work alongside teachers in secondary schools, at key stage three (years 7-9), to deliver a series of traditional and digital craft workshops.

A foundry which opened in Queen Elizabeth I's era and made Big Ben is up for sale.
 
Whitechapel Bell Foundry, which opened in 1570, is in the Guinness Book of World Records as Britain's oldest manufacturing company.
 
The company's owner Alan Hughes said he hoped to have found a buyer by the time he retires in May.
 
The Grade II-listed building in Whitechapel, where it has been based since 1738, has already been sold.

Making Nature: How we see animals

1 DEC 2016-21 MAY 2017
FREE | DROP IN

The question of how humans relate to other animals has captivated philosophers, anthropologists, ethicists and artists for centuries. 'Making Nature' will bring together over 100 objects from literature, film, taxidermy and photography to examine the historical origins of our ideas about other animals and the consequences of these for ourselves and our planet.

Animal Vegetable Mineral is the accompanying book for the exhibition.

All our exhibitions are free. Find out about entry at busy times.

Beyond Bling: Contemporary Jewelry from the Lois Boardman Collection showcases highlights from this important donation to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It reveals how studio jewelers have transformed the medium by confronting social issues and exploring new technologies and unconventional materials.

Consisting of over 300 objects from the United States, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, the collection is by turns edgy, experimental, and even disturbing. Objects range from a necklace featuring a gold cast of a rodent skull to a ring made from a hand- wrought, white-gold nail, bent and thrust through a large smoky quartz. With hundreds of images and five incisive essays, the book brings this little-known collection to light.


Text in English
The catalogue was made possible by the Rotasa Foundation, Typecraft, the John and Robyn Horn Foundation, and the Decorative Arts and Design Council of LACMA.
