As makers, designers, craftspeople, artists, students, teachers, independent studio practitioners, gallerists, and hobbyists, we are SNAG. From many backgrounds and points of view we are collectively what makes SNAG so incredibly rich, diverse, and relevant to a field which embraces our traditions while simultaneously forging our futures. WE ARE SNAG: Identity is the first in a series of juried online WE ARE SNAG member exhibitions celebrating the breadth of our field and membership. 

WE ARE SNAG: Identity seeks images of traditionally crafted, contemporary, and experimental new works from any current member of SNAG.  This online juried exhibition intends to represent the incredibly diverse work and making practices of our membership and is open to jewelry work, metals work, metalsmithed objects, body ornamentation and the like.

ACC & SNAG Partner for Invitational Program

The American Craft Council has invited SNAG to participate in their Artist Invitational Program for their 2015 Baltimore show. SNAG will require an application of interest along with submission of images of your work in order to be considered.  Applications will be juried and the program is limited to 10 artists.  This opportunity is open to any current SNAG member.

Artists chosen will be expected to attend and sell work at the ACC Baltimore show.  You may choose wholesale, retail, or both. Please note that chosen participants will still need to pay for their booth space (which you may share with another artist if so chosen) and all travel.  You don't have to jury into the show with the general applicants nor pay an application fee.

Chosen artists will be given access to online resources where they can have their questions answered and learn more about what it entails to set up and sell from a booth.  Each accepted applicant can be partnered with an existing ACC artist, if desired, for help on any issues that may arise or questions you may have.

Please fill out the form and submit five (5) digital images of your work, along with a price sheet listing both wholesale (if applicable) and retail prices for the submitted images.

There is no application fee.

ACC Baltimore is February 18-19, 2015 (wholesale) and February 20-22, 2015 (retail).

Applications and questions go to Gwynne Rukenbrod

Deadline: July 1, 2014, 5 pm
Notification of Acceptance: August 1, 2014

Making Jewelry Magic with the Orion Pulse Arc Welders

 

September 6 - 7, 2014  

 

The Southern Highland Craft Guild and Folk Art Center are hosting the second National Orion Pulse Arc Welder Workshop in conjunction with SNAG.  Attendees will learn what different welder models can do without the high cost of purchasing or maintaining a laser.

 

Learn to repair porosity, re-tip prongs, weld dissimilar metals together, weld bezels together, resize rings, construct jewelry  without soldering, and even weld titanium. Brett White from Orion Jewelry Welders, as well as David Alberts, and Ruthie Cohen of the Mountain Metalsmiths School of Jewelry & Lapidary will be working with each individual on an actual pulse arc welder.  Jewelers are encouraged to bring projects that they are working on to the workshop!

 

Workshop fees are being donated to SNAG and the Southern Highland Craft Guild for their educational programs. A $50 deposit is all that is necessary to hold your space.   

 

For more information please contact Ruthie Cohen by phone: 828-687-7830 or by email
