The seminar covers the essentials of a career as a jewelry designer and includes topics such as "How to Develop Your Identity," "Where to Find Inspiration," "Pricing and Selling Your Work," plus how to work with sales reps, galleries, jewelry stores, trade shows, and magazines.
Moderator Alan Revere is a master goldsmith, author, and teacher of jewelry. Panelists include Harriete Estel Berman, an internationally acclaimed jeweler and sculptor; Thea Nicole Izzi, a Fulbright scholar, instructor, and award-winning jewelry designer; Amy Faust, who has made a popular line of beach glass and silver jewelry since 1994; Kate Richbourg, who works in the bead industry, teaches nationwide classes, and helps students promote their own beadwork.
