Our 20:20 Visions conference was held in July 2017 at SHU, Sheffield.
See our Conference section. You can also read many articles on past conferences, events, exhibitions and jewellery news in the Vaults
Our conference team, led by Laura Bradshaw-Heap (of Suspended in Pink fame) and Rachel Darbourne (JUNK: Rubbish to Gold), worked hard to construct a great and varied programme. This included talks by makers, educators & exhibition curators, performances (expect surprises), demonstrations & tech talks, amid networking breaks with plentiful cake.
