How To Create Your Own Jewelry Line
Taught by Emilie Shapiro
Emilie Shapiro is a jewelry designer, teacher and author living in New York City. Her jewelry line, Emilie Shapiro Contemporary Metals is sold worldwide at galleries and museum shops such as Anthropologie, Sundance, and the American Museum of Natural History. She comes from a long line of creative entrepreneurs, inventors, and free spirits who have encouraged her to explore many different mediums throughout her artistic life. Emilie uses the ancient craft of lost wax casting which dates back to the Egyptians, wherein she carves sculptural pieces into hard wax and casts them into metal. Rough gemstones are incorporated into her work as a celebration of the beauty of natural imperfection. All production and resources are kept as local as possible, and every piece is handmade in Emilie’s studio in New York City.
Join Emilie Shapiro to celebrate her book, How to Create Your Own Jewelry Line with an informative talk on starting your own professional jewelry line.
Emilie will discuss where to learn about jewelry, how to design a marketable line and a full collection, where to sell and how to start. After the talk, there will be plenty of time for Q&A.
Each ticket includes a copy of Emilie's book. Refreshments will also be served.
