A Message from Wholesalecrafts.com and ACRE Orlando
It has come to our attention that several companies are contacting our ACRE Orlando exhibitors about hotel room opportunities during the dates of our show. ACRE Orlando's official housing company is Connections Housing and they NEVER contact you directly. If you receive a call from anyone about hotel rooms in Orlando, you can be assured that they are not affiliated with ACRE Orlando in any way and you should proceed carefully. All official travel for ACRE Orlando is listed on the www.ACREOrlando.com website.

Get to Know Your Board
Each week we will be spotlighting one CRAFT Board Member.
 Q Evon
CRAFT Board Member Q Evon Designs While attending Parsons School of Design I discovered my greatest skill was in wax carving. With this skill, and a passion for medieval metalwork and architecture, Q Evon Design was born. In 1992, I began as a small production business that grew to several hundred gallery and catalog accounts worldwide.
After ten years of production, I realized I needed to expand my skills to move in a new artistic direction. I began studying privately with a master metalsmith and continue this study today.
My current body of work includes fabrication, granulation, acid etching, reticulation & casting of gold, silver, and argentium. During this exploration, I found that incorporating a variety of methods brings about a richness in texture that gives each piece the unique and timeless quality that i strive for in my work.
My work has always reflected a love for ancient metalwork and architecture. My current collections combine both gold and silver with an emphasis on texture. Reticulation, anti-clastic raising, acid etching, granulation, roller printing and the ancient art of keum-boo are combined to create rich metal tapestry.
Each piece is as unique as the individual that chooses to wear my designs. |
