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.

Lewiston-Auburn Mini Maker Faire
Saturday, September 28th
Museum L-A/ Bates Mill Atrium
10am – 4pm

Ages 12 and under get in FREE!
13-17 year olds $5
18 and over $8 in advance, $10 at the door

Be sure to register early to save money and avoid waiting in line on the day of the Faire!


Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and
resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they
are making, and share what they are learning.

Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of
all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community.

The original Maker Faire event was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2012 celebrated its seventh annual show with
some 800 makers and 110,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has
grown in three years to 500+ makers and 55,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Newcastle (UK), and Tokyo are
the home of “featured” Maker Faires (200+ makers), and community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker
Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world—including right here in Lewiston-Auburn.
