Call For Entry Mission
A Letter from 2019 EM Student Jury:
We would like So Fresh + So Clean 2019 applicants to deeply consider how their work & studio practice builds on EM Student's dedication to innovative thinking in their approach to the field of jewelry and metalsmithing. It is our hope to foster a generous, honest and investigative conversation around the many ways we evolve our studio and work in an ever shifting world. In this spirit of re-imagining what a practice can look like from an ethical perspective, EM Student’s is also interested in how this outlook affects your creative output. How does an ethical practice inform your work and push you to discovery, transformation and innovation? Where does your work fit in today’s contemporary practice in fresh and exciting new ways?
