March 1996
New Jewellery by Members of the Society of North American Goldsmiths
This exhibition, jointly produced by SNAG and the Shipley Gallery, Gateshead, England, opened at the Shipley Gallery in March 1996. It was the inaugural event of the professional conference, “Jewellers Exchange ’96—The International Dimension.” The exhibit then toured three other venues in northern England, stopping at the Birmingham School of Jewellery and Silversmithing; the James Hockey Gallery; Surrey Institute of Art, Farnham; and the Cleveland Craft Centre in Middlesbrough. It then moved to the United States, where it opened at the National Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis, TN, and moved to its final venue, the Society for Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh, PA.
