2006 - and some hot SA jewellers

THE YEAR WAS 2006 An exhibition of 100 jewellery pieces made in 2006 19th – 30th June 2012 CELEBRATION DRINKS - Saturday 23rd June 4-6pm 2006. It was a common year that started on a Sunday. John Howard was PM and Pluto was no longer classified as a planet. It is often bandied about that art is a reflection of our society; intrigued, we set out to find what 2006 might have looked like in terms of contemporary jewellery. 100 jewellers from across the globe have been invited to present one piece of jewellery they made 6 years ago. Presented as a salon hang, this exhibition will showcase an incredibly diverse array of jewellery and will give an overall snapshot of what these jewellers were thinking, making and the materials they were using all those years ago in 2006.

New 'Showcase 500' publication

For all those who want to be published.... check it!

---

 

I'm pleased to announce a two-month call for entries for a new 500 Series
gallery book of handmade contemporary jewelry from Lark Books: Showcase 500
Necklaces. The opportunity closes on August 1, 2012. That is a short window
of time, so I ask you please to share the call for entries promptly with
your entire jewelry-making community, including peers, associations,
schools, students, and all online forums as well as social media like
Twitter and Facebook, and to respond to it yourself in a timely way. As
always, we hope to receive a wide array of entries from around the world.

I'm also pleased to report Lark has converted to using an online entry
system; entries are now online only, through a portal provided by Juried Art
Services. Here is the link for the informational prospectus and to enter:

http://bit.ly/NmsmQm

You'll find all the information you need at that link, so please follow the
instructions carefully, but here are some key points:

We'll accept jewelry in all materials with all techniques and design styles,
including both wearable and conceptual but biasing toward the wearable,
simply because most readers prefer seeing wearable jewelry in these books.
Jurying will favor more recent work, and so we ask you to submit very recent
or current work from no earlier than 2010. The submission limit is two
pieces (one photo of each, with an option of one or two alternate or detail
photos per piece). 'Necklaces' can include neckpieces, chokers, torques,
collars, operas, ropes, chains, bibs, etc. There is no charge for entry for
this book; Lark is covering the Juried Art Services cost. We strongly prefer
work that has not been previously published in book form.

The JAS form will walk you through the process, but a few notes:
1. No need to complete the Artist Statement section.
2. Please read and follow Lark's Digital Image Submission Guidelines.
3. We encourage early entries, especially to avoid having any last-minute
difficulties with the new entry process: Complete the process ahead of the
deadline so you're assured of having time to resolve any technical issues
you might encounter.

For questions about registering with Juried Art Services or uploading your
material to the site, contact support@jurying.net. For other questions about
the book, please direct them to Hannah Doyle at  hannah@larkbooks.com. And
please be sure to join Lark Jewelry & Beading on Facebook at
https://www.facebook.com/LarkJewelryBeading for updates and future calls for
entries.

We invite you to copy the web ad for the book at
http://www.larkcrafts.com/submit/calls-for-submissions/ for your own website
or blog, or to share it on your Facebook page, linking either to that link
or to the JAS page at http://bit.ly/NmsmQm, whichever you prefer.

We are very excited about this book, the third jewelry book since the 500
series evolved into 'Showcase 500'. Showcase 500 Rings
(http://amzn.to/yEERZm ) just published in May, and Showcase 500 Beaded
Jewelry (http://amzn.to/z6tZH2) will publish in August. We know Showcase 500
Necklaces will be a book devoted to work of creative excellence and
innovation, and we invite and welcome your contribution to the book.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Ray

Crafthaus

Just in case Facebook and Kitandcaboodle weren't enough....

But it's also a good opportunity to see other maker's works, gain new contacts and grab exhibition/competition opportunities. Go have a look-see! 

All jewellers look at the back of the brooch

A quick plug for an interesting online exhibition idea - Behind the Brooch

"I have always thought that the back of any jewelry piece is as important as the front. I always try to have something on the back of my pieces as a surprise for the wearer and also because I think it says a lot about the maker. Most of the work I do has a detail on the back, I enjoy very much doing it.

Lately I started making brooches but I was very curious to see how other artists were making their pin backs and the back of their designs. I looked for inspiration everywhere but it was very hard to find images of the back side of the brooches.




This is why I think having an online exhibition in Crafthaus about showing the front and back side of a brooch will be a great and very inspirational tool for a lot of artists.

This exhibition is open to all and in any medium.

DEADLINE: August 1st, 2012.

Artist Notification will be via email on September 1st, 2012.

The exhibition will run from October 1st to November 1st, 2012.

To be eligible for this exhibition, submitted work must be designed and made by the artist.

Your entry must include:

• Up to 3 pieces .jpg images (front and back side of the brooch)
  72 dpi no larger than 800 pixels in any direction
• Title of the brooch, material list and dimensions
• A brief statement of your work

Send your entry materials to Lorena Angulo at this email address behindthebrooch@lorenaangulo.com

Blandine Bardeau at Bauhaus

image © Blandine Bardeau

I don't usually admit that i spend time perving at jewels at Bauhaus, but I must share with you this beautiful find – a small selection of work by London based artist-fashion designer- jeweller Blandine Bardeau, 'plastic fantastic!!

go have a squiz and check out her website.

"In the traditional case, there is a breadth of transformational opprtunity. The boundaries between the human, natural, and supernatural worlds are porous. Humans can become birds, rivers, lightning, the wind...
This extraordinary movement across boundaries, this fluidity of identity...We have lost the habit of transformation. We have destroyed the mythological creature we could once become. Scandinavian tattos are merely fad and fashion, no real transformation at all... We have no myths. We have no transformations." Grant Mc Cracken, Transformations, 2008. www.notjustalabel.com/blandinebardeau . Another review from 5000 here : http://thethousands.com.au/adelaide/goods/blandine-bardeau-jewellery/
