Join us for a studio visit and discussion with David Harper Clemons. Last year, the James Renwick Alliance of Craft recognized Clemons as Master of the Medium in jewelry and metals for his excellence in craftsmanship, influence in the medium, and overall contributions to the field.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about how this thoughtful maker embraces the craft of metalsmithing and its collected history of techniques and objects. The resulting works,—rendered in metal and mixed media—and his handmade artist books are objects positioned across a spectrum, from vehicles to communicate ideas surrounding identity to forays into formal material- and process-based work.
