Jewelry That Makes You Think.
July 27, 12 p.m. EST 

Join AJF as we meet with Douriean Fletcher—a multidisciplinary artist who specializes in metallurgy, precious stones, and overall adornment. Her practice lies where aesthetics and energy work intersect, forging the tools to root and reimagine ourselves according to shared ancestral and cultural traditions. Her work has been featured in the Roots reboot and the films Black Panther, Coming2America, and the upcoming Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever. Through her work, Fletcher invites women to envision themselves as deities of our era and of the future.

This event is free and open to all. To register, follow this link. Additional info.

For more than four decades, Laurie Hall has been making stories the subject of her work. Her playful and funny jewelry set with found objects is about the places she lives and the landscapes that fill her imagination, about her family history and different ideas of what it is to be an American.

As a jeweler, Hall never plays it safe, preferring to fly by the seat of her pants and push her skills and technical knowledge. She amuses herself and, in the process, amuses the wearer and viewer. She is a product of the jewelry histories that make the Pacific Northwest unique within the larger story of American contemporary jewelry. Featuring 58 images of Hall’s jewelry spanning 1974–2019, this book explores why she is an important maker whose practice deserves to be more widely known. This is the story of Laurie Hall’s jewelry.
