SUMMARY:Exhibition: Cross-Pollination: Minimalism/Maximalism — Closes
DESCRIPTION:November 7–17\, 2019 \nCross-Pollination: Minimalism/Maximalism will showcase the work of students from FIT and from LaSalle School of Art in Singapore. Students will produce original work by delving into The Museum at FIT’s exhibition Minimalism/Maximalism that explores the history of fashion with a particular focus on the 1960s and 1970s in New York City and Singapore. \nFrom August to October of 2019\, students interacted with their peers in the other country and responded to each other’s research\, crossing knowledge from the West and East. This investigation helped them to articulate how to communicate in the fashion industry while being sensitive to the sociocultural\, political\, economic\, and technological aspects of global fashion today. \nSee previous Cross-Pollination collaborations here. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:NYCJW: The Business and Art of Ethical Jewelry: Kyle Roderick Interviews Designer Pippa Small
DESCRIPTION:In this informal conversation\, Kyle Roderick\, author of the new book Bejeweled: The World of Ethical Jewelry (Rizzoli)\, speaks with Pippa Small\, MBE\, about how the designer and anthropologist has guided her ethical jewelry brand to financial success and international prominence. Worn by such globally influential women as Meghan Markle\, actor Laura Dern\, British supermodel Adwoah Aboah and Kate Middleton\, the Pippa Small brand is synonymous with handmade ethical jewelry of great beauty and cultural value. \nRoderick and Small discuss how the designer/medical anthropology has spent her career championing the preservation of traditional artisanal jewelry-making techniques through hiring indigenous artisans around the world to fabricate her various collections. \nIntriguingly\, Small has created jewelry for such fashion designers and brands as Tom Ford\, Chloe\, and DOSA in fair-mined gold\, 22-karat gold and ethically sourced gemstones\, vermeil\, ostrich eggshell and ethically sourced pearls\, etc. Along with commenting on ethical jewelry trends\, Small discusses the complexities of partnering with nonprofits that employ jewelry artisans working in precious metals whose cultural traditions\, and livelihoods\, are threatened by war\, economic instability and the proliferation of mass-produced\, low-grade metal jewelry. Finally\, Small offers insights on how designers\, consumers and retailers can work together to help promote ethical jewelry production and retail sales. \n\nThis event is part of New York City Jewelry Week (NYCJW). FIT is the official education partner. \nNew York City Jewelry Week is free and open to the public; RSVP for this event here.  \n

SUMMARY:NYCJW: Cutting Etch—Mary Ann Scherr’s Legacy in Metal
DESCRIPTION:As part of NYC Jewelry Week\, curator and educator Ana Estrades discusses her research for the exhibition All Is Possible: Mary Ann Scherr’s Legacy in Metal\, opening from February to September 2020 at the Gregg Museum of Art and Design in Raleigh\, NC. Both talk and exhibition are a tribute to a larger-than-life artist-designer who influenced the metal and design communities for over 60 years. \nWhen Mary Ann Scherr (Akron\, OH 1921- Raleigh\, NC 2016) moved from New York City to Raleigh in 1989\, she was already an internationally renowned designer who had chaired the first Crafts Department at Parsons in Manhattan; innovated metal-etching techniques\, which were promoted by Rio Grande Suppliers; and pioneered jewelry that functioned as body monitors. And yet\, for the next 30 years she enriched the arts and life of her new community in North Carolina\, where she taught at Penland\, Duke\, Meredith College and N.C. State. \nThis talk\, “Cutting Etch—Mary Ann Scherr’s Legacy in Metal\,” aims to explore the full extent of Mary Ann Scherr’s legacy\, endless creativity\, and innovations through new archival material\, photographs of her work from private collections\, and recent oral histories with relatives\, friends\, collectors\, former students\, and studio assistants. \nAna Estrades is a jewelry curator\, researcher and educator\, with an MA in decorative arts\, material culture and design history from the Bard Graduate Center in New York City. She is currently teaching Modern Jewelry Designers 1870-1970 at Meredith College Art Department in Raleigh\, NC\, and also guest-curating an exhibition on Mary Ann Scherr’s jewelry designs in the Gregg Museum of Art and Design at N.C. State University\, which will open on February 20\, 2020. An article of her research on Scherr’s legacy in metal will be published in Metalsmith magazine in January of next year. \n\nThis event is part of New York City Jewelry Week (NYCJW). FIT is the official education partner. \nNew York City Jewelry Week is free and open to the public; RSVP for this event here.

SUMMARY:NYCJW: “They Did What?” Mid-20th Century Studio Jewelers and How Their Groundbreaking Work Continues to Shape the Field Today
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “They Did What?!” Mid-20th Century Studio Jewelers and How Their Groundbreaking Work Continues to Shape the Field Today\, a lecture focused on the work of  jewelers: Art Smith\, Margaret De Patta\, Alexander Calder\, Merry Renk\, Margret Craver\, Sam Kramer\, Miyé Matsukata and Winifred Mason. \nThis lecture\, by studio jeweler and Professor Heather White\, explores important developments in art jewelry from the middle of the twentieth century to the present. The jewelers included in the lecture have deep ties to the Northeast\, and many lived\, worked\, or studied in Boston and New York. \nWhite will discuss how these pioneers of jewelry helped lay the foundation for contemporary studio jewelers working today. These early practitioners shared a passion for technical\, conceptual\, and formal innovations that set them apart from commercial jewelers of their time. The lecture points to the ways in which these artists challenged the limited scope of jewelry and revolutionized adornment. \nAbout the Presenter: \nHeather White is a studio jeweler and Professor of Jewelry and Metalsmithing at Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt+Design). She is a Fulbright Scholar and Brother Thomas Fellowship recipient. In 2018 she curated the exhibition Adorning Boston and Beyond: Contemporary Studio Jewelry then and Now at the Society of Arts and Crafts\, Boston\, MA. Her works can be seen in The Penland Book of Jewelry: Master Classes in Jewelry Techniques\, Metalsmith and Sculpture Magazines. Her jewelry is in the following collections: Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, MA\, Museum of Art and Design\, NYC\, the Rotasa Foundation\, Mill Valley\, CA\, Samual Dorsky Museum of Art\, New Paltz\, NY\, and the Mint Museum\, Charlotte\, NC. \n\n\nThis event is part of New York City Jewelry Week (NYCJW). FIT is the official education partner. \nNew York City Jewelry Week is free and open to the public; RSVP for this event here.
