Jewelry Club

For jewelry makers who appreciate high-level content
and want to stay connected to the world of jewelry
beyond their studios.

Beyond Technical Mastery

Mastering technical skills is essential, but it's just the beginning. Understanding your design voice is equally important, and that's where many makers get stuck.

You already recognize good design intuitively. Learning the vocabulary of design helps you access that subconscious knowledge, making your work easier and more enjoyable. An ongoing conversation about design is at the core of Jewelry Club.

Getting Your Work Into the World

Every creative practice needs an audience. Our programs help you see your jewelry from your audience's perspective—a gentle, relationship-focused approach to what most people call marketing.

The Complete Picture

We round out design and audience connection with cultural awareness to help you understand your place in the lineage of jewelry making, plus regular updates about designers and collectors worldwide.

Finally, there's sustainability—profits that support your practice. Here, knowledge about techniques and processes helps you explore ways to improve profitability while maintaining your design identity.

What You'll Achieve

This range of topics will help you produce jewelry you love, develop an individual, authentic voice, and build and maintain a creative practice that thrives.

There are many reasons why we wear jewelry. Among the principles communicated through the jewelry on display at the inaugurations, these three were the most apparent: wealth and the status afforded by wealth, group affiliation, and values or aspirational ideals.

This is a reflection on my journey from when I thought that conquering a material or technique was required to be truly skilled.

we translate ideas into things using materials

There are lots of reasons why we might select a material to explore, manipulate, tame, or celebrate, including cultural tradition, perceived value, and visceral enjoyment.
