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.

Recycled Narratives by Elizabeth Shaw

Exhibition  /  06 Mar 2018  -  31 Mar 2018
Recycled Narratives is an exhibition of contemporary jewellery and objects created by Elizabeth Shaw between 2012 and 2018. Many of the pieces have been exhibited internationally and this is the first time they have been shown together. Individually and collectively, the works trace Shaw’s interest in simple mechanics, repair, found objects and the narratives evoked by materials.

The spillover effect


If we could fully understand the impact of arts and culture on wider society, would this change arts strategies and policies? Jonathan Vickery charts the progression of thinking on the ‘spillover’ effect.

Rediscover traditional crafts with a modern twist, learn a new skill and meet the makers behind some of our favourite products.

In partnership with Crafts magazine, the Barbican Shop are hosting a season of talks, installations and workshops on the theme of making and craftsmanship.

Make! is a celebration of innovation and creativity in craft. We're showcasing the creme de la creme of contemporary makers; those with a modern take on conventional crafts such as weaving, casting and bookbinding, and those redefining it entirely with groundbreaking processes and exciting new materials.

Following our Makers programme, Make! seeks to further the Barbican's support of up and coming design talent, challenge perceptions of craft and inspire you to try something new.

The only way to beat the robots is to back arts education in schools

If you’re doing a job involving creativity it’s less likely to be replaced by software: robots are hopeless on that front
