30th May - Brooch Club Meet Up #2 ~ Windowsmiths Gallery - Potts Point

Following on from our first session, this meet shifts focus toward the broader context in which your work will sit.

We’ll spend time exploring contemporary jewellery within the Australian landscape, alongside key references from Australian jewellery history - considering how artists position their work within both current and historical frameworks.

This session will include:

• A look at selected artists and projects
• Introduction to archival references and Australian contemporary jewellery context
• Group discussion around how these references connect to your own ideas
• Time to reflect on and begin situating your work within a broader field

Bring along your journal for notes and reflections.

You’re also welcome to bring any references — books, catalogues, images or objects — that speak to context, influence, or placement within your practice.

This session is a little more reflective and research-led, offering space to deepen your thinking and begin locating your work within a wider conversation.

As with all Brooch Club meets, this is a peer-focused event — ideal for jewellers with an existing practice.

Each Brooch Club meet is hosted in multiple locations (at the same time) — choose the best location for you. All meets are hosted via this Eventbrite profile — register to secure your spot.

Brooch Club is an initiative to bring our jewellery community together, supported by local Creative Spaces and JMGA NSW.
