Greetings!
Benjamin Lignel, the editor at AJF, is looking for someone to report on the Kookmin University jewelry department in Seoul, South Korea, either with an article or an interview of the department head(s). Do you know someone who has attended the school, can spin a nice yarn, and has a little time on their hands? Please contact Benjamin directly at editor@artjewelryforum.org.
We look forward to bringing you more information about the alma mater of our 2014 AJF Artist Award winner, Seulgi Kwon, and AJF Artist Award finalist Heejoo Kim!
