Craft Alliance opens the “National Jewelry Invitational” exhibit on Friday, February 8, 1991 with a gala reception from 6 pm to 8 pm.
The show will be on view through March 8, 1991.
A very special Valentine’s Day gift can be found in any of the unique one-of-a-kind handcrafted pieces of jewelry in the show.
This exciting presentation includes 23 artists from throughout the United States and features the work of professional craft jewelers Arline Fisch, Diane Hubert, and Tina Johnson DePuy.
The finely-woven metal work of Arline Fisch has been highlighted in the exhibit “Poetry of the Physical” organized by the American Craft Museum and has been accepted in numerous private and public collections throughout the U.S., Europe and Japan. Hubert’s collar neckpieces consisting of selected metals and semi-precious beads of onyx, ivory, and rose quartz can be matched with the many varying designs of her earrings and bracelets. Tina Johnson DePuy is noted as one of the leading fiber artists who has taken the craft of knotting from a lesser artform to the intricate finely detailed wearable jewelry that she has produced since the late 1960’s.
Also included in the presentation are additional artists working in selected materials of metal, plastic, glass and found objects.
Craft Alliance is pleased to exhibit the work of Jan Hessel and Joe Meunch of the Craft Alliance faculty and the work of students Gay Ackerman, Razine Wenneker, David Pocost and Rita Haley.
For more information on the exhibit, please contact Curator Barbara Jedda at 725-1177. Regular gallery hours: Tuesday-Saturday, 10-5.
