So, I went to Sydney<\/a> and caught up with a bunch of makers, and met a whole host more. In the catchup camp were Zoe Brand<\/a>, Erin Keys, Carrie McDowell<\/a> and Linda<\/a> Blair<\/a> amongst others. I also got to meet for the first time a bunch of artists and probably greeted even more than just this list, but these were the people I had sustained conversations with; Emma Fielden<\/a>, Mark Vaarwerk<\/a>, Jasmine Matus<\/a> and Nina Baker<\/a> (whose names I remembered, yes, I admit it, I am blanking on one name and I am so very sorry.)<\/p>\n

I realised during this trip that I have met a lot of makers via education – short courses and uni courses of course as well as the odd symposium. Of makers that I have never met, like many artists I guess, I only need to see an image on a business card or a piece of theirs and I can usually place them. In fact, maybe all jewellery artists at maker events should wear one of their pieces to save redundant introductions?<\/p>\n

And where does one glean such knowledge of others’ works? Well, sometimes at jewellery galleries – I’ve seen Mark’s work around for years and can pick it, despite the fact that it has normally moved in direction between my encounters – but on further reflection I realised that I saw the works of Nina (t) Baker<\/a> and Emma Fielden<\/a> via Kit and Caboodle<\/a>. Good work, Cate<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Melissa finishes off her Sydney recollections.
