Craft in Sight is a collaboration between Brian Ferrell and Brigitte Martin (crafthaus). Their goal is the creation and distribution of videos about crafthaus artists, showcasing a range of craft media, creative processes, and the environment in which craft work is made today. SNAG member Sharon Massey was their first Craft in Sight subject. |
| "In Production" Deb Karash in Metalsmith | | Due to a last minute production error, the text on the second page of the article about Deb Karash in the current issue of Metalsmith was inadvertently deleted. The full article will run in Volume 31 No 3, as well as an article about our next "In Production" jeweler, Sarah Graham. We were able to correct the digital version of Metalsmith but not the print copies.

As art jewelry has developed over the past few decades it has become more international, leading to the blurring of obvious national identities in jewelry practice. But place still matters. 
This exhibition, curated by Susan Cummins and Mike Holmes, is a celebration of the amazing variety of the natural world and humanity's part in it.
