Call for Entry!

I am excited to announce that I am jurying a show for Brooklyn Metal Works. Here’s an excerpt from the call:

Re-fresh is a juried exhibition exploring the relationship between traditional objects and contemporary interpretations of their function in today’s world. How is historic metalwork refigured and by what means is this determined? This show seeks to highlight current trends and new approaches within the field. Metalsmiths and object makers working with traditional and nontraditional techniques are encouraged to apply.

Here’s a link to the prospectus.
