Join me and fellow art jeweler, Nikki Couppee for a conversation from inside our Bay Area studios, talking about our work and what we’ve been up to during these times of COVID and Shelter-In-Place. This is a free, live-streaming Zoom meeting hosted by the Art Jewelry Forum (AJF) and moderated by AJF President, Yvonne Montoya. We’ll be taking live questions from the audience, so please tune in!
Studio visits are a favorite event among AJF members. Who isn’t intrigued by peeking behind the curtain? As more of us are now settling into “shelter in place” mode, AJF would still like to continue its tradition of bringing you up-close and personal with visits to artists’ studios and the jewelry we love. We can do it together, virtually—and we’re opening it up to members and nonmembers alike!
WHEN: Thursday, June 18th, 9-10am PST
