2 october 2025

2 PM - 3.30 PM

Location: NationaL Library of romania, mircea eliade conference room

cost: 30 Euro/participant

*Limited spots available, in the order of registration.

This workshop will walk jewelry artists through the steps to crafting a 300- to 500-word artist statement that expresses their vision for their work. Prompts and exercises will be offered to help artists land on the right words to describe their work. The workshop will cover how to talk about inspirations, materials used, influences, concepts explored and more.

We will discuss how to be succinct, what vocabulary to use — and words to stay away from— as well as how artists explain their work in a way that is accessible to everyone. 

The workshop will be taught by Jennifer Altmann, a journalist who writes about jewelry. Her work has appeared in The New York Times’ Style section, The Washington Post, the Associated Press and many other outlets. Her new series for Art Jewelry Forum, “Inside the Jewelry Box,” offers a peek into the jewelry collections of artists, gallery owners, curators and collectors.
