Announcing the 19th Annual Northwest Jewelry and Metals Symposium<\/b><\/p>\n

Saturday, October 18th<\/p>\n

Washington State History Museum<\/p>\n

1911 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98402<\/p>\n

The volunteer members of the Seattle Metal Guild\u2019s Symposium Committee<\/b> are pleased to announce this year\u2019s lineup of speakers for the annual Northwest Jewelry and Metals Symposium<\/b>. Working to the theme of Continuum<\/i>, we have selected six speakers – curator Suzanne Ramljak<\/b>, historian Stephen Fliegel<\/b>, metalsmith Myra Mimlitsch-Gray<\/b>, artist Jennifer Trask<\/b>, jeweler Todd Pownell<\/b> and sculptor Vivian Beer<\/b> to share their expertise and wisdom with our audience.<\/p>\n

This year the event coincides with the unveiling of the exhibition Protective Ornament: Contemporary Armor to Amulets<\/i><\/b> at the Tacoma Art Museum<\/b>. Speaker Suzanne Ramljak, editor of the prestigious Metalsmith<\/i> magazine has curated this exhibition, which also features many Northwest artists. She will be on hand to celebrate the opening along with its initiator Carissa Hussong, of the Metal Museum in Memphis.<\/p>\n

The beautiful Washington State History Museum, located a short stroll from TAM, will play host to this incarnation of the Symposium. The date also coincides with the annual Tacoma Arts Month<\/b>, which this year will again feature Metal-Urge<\/b>, a celebration of metal arts with multiple events planned for locations throughout the city during October.<\/p>\n

The close-of-day speakers\u2019 reception will also double as the opening celebration for the Protective Ornament exhibition, meaning Symposium attendees will be among the first to see this beautiful collection of wearable objects.<\/p>\n
