We're almost midway through our fall session! Our 6 and 8 week classes are already underway, but we've still got a ton in store this fall! Just dipping your toe into the world of metals and jewelry? Metals + Jewelry Mini with Stevie Pniewski is a great place to start! Want to take your skills to the next level? Take Soldering Intensive with Margo Csipo. Looking to learn a high-tech new fabrication process? Sign up for Welding Workshop with Elliot Keeley. No matter your skill level or schedule, we've got something for you in the studio this fall.
Take a look at a selection of our fall classes and workshops below, and see the whole lineup on our website.
Join us at The Jewelry Library from 5:30-7:30pm on Friday, November 21st for Supper Club, an intimate tasting experience benefitting the Baltimore Jewelry Center. This special evening, guided by artist, chef, and former BJC resident artist Naama Levit, invites guests into a tasting experience centered around figs.
Reimagining the tradition of the supper club as a moment of nourishment and gathering, the event is grounded in time and space through the experience of food, tabletop objects, and community.
The evening will be accompanied by a collaboration of tabletop objects by Naama Levit and Brice Garrett, alongside a curation of artist-made tabletop objects available for purchase in support of the BJC.
Did you miss the speaker portion of BJC Focus: Making Spaces?
You're in luck! Recordings of our symposium are available on Youtube!
Our Youtube channel is a great place to catch up on past symposia, artist talks by BJC residents and instructors, and other programming like curatorial talks in our gallery.
With over 50 hours of content, our channel is also a great place to find inspiration at the bench.
Many thanks to everybody who contributed to our Summer Fundraiser! With the generosity of everybody in our community and their help in spreading the word about our fundraiser, we not only met our fundraising goal, but surpassed it by $8,300!
This funding is absolutely essential to supporting the everyday operations of the BJC, our core programs, and special events like our free annual symposium this past weekend. We wouldn't have been able to achieve this goal without your help! Thank you!
In The Gallery:
Love & Other Connections
Stop by the gallery to see Love & Other Connections, a solo exhibition by Kathleen Kennedy.
This exhibition reimagines jewelry as sculpture, transforming iconic components—like heart charms, lockets, and clasps—into larger objects of weighted significance. These exaggerated forms become stand-ins for relationships, emotions, and, ultimately, people. Through this lens, jewelry’s role as a souvenir of connection is amplified and examined.
Throughout history, jewelry has served as a deeply personal artifact—marking love, memory, and human connection. Worn on the body, it exists in both public and private realms, simultaneously revealing and concealing meaning.
Love & Other Connections will be on view in the BJC gallery October 3 - November 14. Join us in the gallery at 6pm on November 14 for a gallery talk by Kathleen Kennedy.
Annual Community Call: Making Spaces
Apply today for our 2025 Community Challenge, Making Spaces!
Where do you find camaraderie? What spaces do you frequent that make you feel connected to and part of a larger community?
For this year’s community challenge, the Baltimore Jewelry Center is asking members of our community to create work about the connections they find in third spaces.
The work might reference the people you meet in these spaces, the shared interests that lead you to them, or even the physical spaces themselves.
Applications are open through October 31.
Have questions about the call? Not sure what to make? Join BJC Exhibitions Committee members Allison Gulick and J Diamond for a virtual info session today, October 9 from 6:30 to 7:30pmover zoom.
