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.
