A Sneak Peek From the Jury for the 2009 Palm Beach Fine Craft Show
by 10:29 am2008.10.23Filed under General, Jewelry

Recently I juried the 2009 Palm Beach Fine Craft Show, to be held in West Palm Beach next March 20-22. This small, beautiful show consistently features a number of leading artists working in fine craft, including a good representation of Artful Home artists.

This is a great assignment, as it gives me an overview of new artists entering the field along with the growth and development of artists I’ve known for years. I’m always amazed to see the paths their creative minds take; artists continuously push the envelope and move their art forms in new directions.

I was particularly struck in this jurying session by the plethora of amazing jewelry that our contemporary jewelers are producing. What a treasure trove a beautiful things! The descriptive adjectives are boundless: sensual, elegant, playful, colorful, conceptual. And of course, all created with technical mastery that boggles the mind.

I suspect it’s going to be a long, hard winter. Already, I’m making plans for a spring trip to Palm Beach for this outstanding show!
