Our flagship show in Baltimore is now in full swing! We’re all holding our breath, but so far we’ve been spared by the snowstorm, except for a smattering of flurries this morning. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather through the weekend!

Ashley Vick's line of handmade metal jewelry is named after her great-grandmother, Filomena DeMarco--a nod to history and heritage also reflected in her work. Vick creates statement pieces that feel like a modern-day version of the heirloom jewels you might dream of inheriting from a relative or finding tucked away in the attic of an old house. The patina of her oxidized sterling silver and bronze rings, necklaces, and earrings gives them the feel of having been lovingly worn for years, and their various textures remind me of feathers and rocks, carefully collected and saved.

Birthdays have always been a big deal for Karen Lorene, owner of Facere Jewelry Art Gallery in Seattle. “I had a mother who made wonder out of birthdays. When you woke up in bed, you’d feel the presents by your toes,” she says. “When I got married, I told my husband three things were sacred. One, Valentines. Two, Easter baskets on Easter morning. And three, birthdays.” For her 70th this month, Lorene naturally wanted to do something special. So she’s presenting a show of 70 new jewelry pieces made for the occasion, each interpreting a year ...

For a first-time visitor, the American Craft Council’s Baltimore Show can be somewhat overwhelming - in the best possible way. I experienced that today when I entered the Baltimore Convention Center for a sneak peek at the exhibitors in our 34th annual show. I was immediately struck not only by the sheer number of artists, but also by the eclectic variety of the work on display. It’s an incredible sensory experience to encounter exquisitely handcrafted goods in such a range of colors, shapes, textures and materials. I found it hard to make any progress through the show - I kept ...
