 Send in Your Studio Sweeps & Unwanted Jewelry
Ethical Metalsmiths has teamed up with SNAG for a unique fundraiser and we need your help!
Winter is a busy time in jewelry studios. With commissions, sales, and gifts being made you have likely accumulated sweeps and scraps. Collect them and consider mailing them in as a donation. These can be turned into valuable dollars that help SNAG and EM continue to offer valuable programming and opportunities to its members. Sweeps and scraps will be refined at Hoover & Strong.
Send them any time before January 30. Use this form and mail your sweeps and other jewelry items to Peter Calvert, c/o Ethical Metalsmiths, PO Box 18161, Richmond, VA, 23226. |
