Are you aware that Joyce Scott, art jeweler extraordinaire and supporter of AJF, has just been designated as a MacArthur Fellow? We wanted to make sure you knew--it is an enormous honor! It not only recognizes Joyce's incredible talent and the importance of her politically charged and relevant subject matter, but also her material choices and, most importantly, her medium--contemporary jewelry.

Joyce Scott on AJF.

Sponsors of Art Jewelry Forum include schools, galleries, and some companies dedicated to helping the field of contemporary jewelry.
Halstead
is one of them.
This company doesn't just supply jewelry materials and beads to many of our talented makers, it also sponsors an annual grant award and a kit-based competition to encourage innovation. In fact, the number of people registering for the kit competition crashed SNAG's website just this past week. Get it!
