It was a great time to be had by all at this year’s Jewelry Camp! We were happy to see so many attendees who return year after year, but were very excited to see so many new faces as well.
This year Jewelry Camp was hosted at Iona College located in New Rochelle, NY.
The speakers covered many topics ranging from “The What, When & Where of Jewelry” offered by Paula Bixel and her crew from GILT out of Portland Oregon (this one was a BIG hit even with the other speakers) to Reema Keswani’s lecture on A.V. Shinde. There were a multitude of classes and lectures at Jewelry Camp 2010 by many speakers, to include, Antoinette Matlins, Diana Singer, Gary Smith, Ruth Peltason, William Whetstone, Danusia Niklewicz, Janet Zapata, Michael Goldstein, Joyce Jonas, Stephen Harrison as well as Michael Coan and Nancy Ross of the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, NY.
The 1st Annual Christie Romero Scholarship was presented to Alice Riordan of Aptos, Ca. If you would like to apply for the Christie Romero Scholarship 2011 please send your essay as to why you should receive this scholarship to Jewelry Camp 2011 to: barry@edithweber.com
This year’s Jewelry Camp Tuition give away went to Caitlyn Wilkinson of Renaissance Fine Jewelry located in Brattleboro, Vt.
