Metalsmith BenchTalk on BlogTalkRadio with Jillian Moore

My Guest on the Thursday, March 31th episode of MetalSmith BenchTalk is artist and jewelry maker Jillian Moore.

For examples of Jillian's work, see: here. To learn a little more about Jillian - in her own words:

"I am currently featured in American Craft in their "On Our Radar" series. I just finished a solo show at the Appalachian Center for Craft in February. I've also had a solo show at the National Ornamental Metal Museum. I'm taking part in CoOperative Tableware during SNAG, I've been invited to a show at Quirk in the fall, and I have my LEAP Award feature next January.

I've had a long relationship with Velvet da Vinci--they did a showcase of my work in the fall of 2008 when I was fresh out of school. It's something I will always be grateful for. I have also had a very wonderful time working with a gallery in Zurich called Friends of Carlotta--the owner, Bruna Hauert, has been very supportive as well. I also have work at Quirk Gallery in Richmond, VA, the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, I just sent work to Fancy Gallery in Seattle, and I sell work at the Mutter Museum gift shop--something I'm particularly proud of given that I love everything about the Mutter Museum. I also did a small invitational show at Schmuckfrage, a gallery in Berlin, titled "underwaterlove."

I have a workshop at the University of Northern Iowa next week, and another coming up at MASSC in May.

I'm also a contributing writer to the Art Jewelry Forum blog with a particularly in depth article on SOFA Chicago last year and this will be my second year blogging the SNAG Conference for Crafthaus."
