Contemporary Connections

This time I'd really like to highlight a couple of contemporary jewellery links...

Athens Jewellery Week - http://athensjewelryweek.com/ - was about to happen this month - it has now been postponed to hopefully happen in November - they have a great YouTube channel here at - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLrYXhvqt5xLGXJ2kT-uk2A where you can watch films from previous events. 

Autor - https://www.youtube.com/user/EXTINS is a fair and an international platform for contemporary and art jewellery - based in Romaniaq - they also produce a magazine and collaborate with many different European groups - https://dautor.ro/en/

Both of these are also very present on social media - so do look out for them if you are interested in contemporary jewels!

Jewellery Making Kits

1/5/2020

For the most part, I keep occasional tool kits around to have available for my students if they choose to buy one so that they can get started working at home as soon as they've finished a class with me, but as there are no 'in person' classes at the moment, only online ones, I thought i'd offer the kits i currently have here online....

I have 2 different beginners introduction to Kumihimo (Japanese braiding) kits - making a fun bracelet - with, or without beads (if you're new to braiding, it's easier to start without beads)...
Kumihimo is a great activity to do anywhere - and this starter braid is fun and easy to learn at home for anyone 8-88!

I also have in stock; -
  • Beginners beadwork kits - everything you need to get started with stitched beadwork / beadweaving is included, with or without some beads to get you started. Including links to some beginner spatterns...
  • Solid acrylic rollers for metal clay (or polymer clay) - solid acrylic, with decorative bubbles enclosed within it
  • Sets of Pin Vice, plus drills and burrs  - great for working with silver clay or wax carving
  • Silver clay starter sets - including all the tools you  might need to get started working with silver cfay
