  • International Relations: Mallory Weston

    Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown sits down with Philadelphia-based contemporary jeweler and metalsmith Mallory Weston. The two women pop a bottle of champagne and discuss what sparked Mallory's interest in metals, the joys of working at a bowling alley, and how Ms. Weston came to be involved in the international art jewelry community. 

    Mallory Weston is an artist currently living and working in Philadelphia, PA. Her work involves a marriage between traditional jewelry techniques and textile techniques and she creates large-scale wearable pieces that allow metal to move with the fluidity of fabric.  She recently received her MFA in Jewelry + Metalsmithing from Rhode Island School of Design, graduating in 2013. Mallory currently works as a professor of Jewelry and Metals at several Philadelphia area colleges and universities.  In addition to her career as an educator, she maintains an active studio practice as a member of the JV Collective, a group of five female art jewelers.  Her work was most recently featured in the solo exhibitions KNOCK OFF at Platina Gallery in Stockholm, Sweden and Of Ophidia at Sienna Patti Contemporary in the United States.  She is an engaged participant in the global art jewelry community, regularly participating in group exhibitions both nationally and internationally.  In the spring of 2016 she was selected as an artist in residence with the Artist Studios program at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City.  Her work can be found in the permanent collection of the CODA Museum and the Stedelijk Museum s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands.

  • The Woman Behind the Blog: A Thousand Facets
    In the seventh episode of Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown sits down with the jewelry blogger A Thousand Facets. Sarah sits down with this social media maven to discuss how one becomes a jewelry blogger, if there is a paycheck involved, and the importance of saying please and thank-you. 
    Since 2010, A Thousand Facets has showcased the work of over 1,400 jewelry designers from around the world. Its mission: to give small, independent designers in the different facets of jewelry design (contemporary, fine, artisan etc.) a platform to showcase their work. Most of these designers are one-person shops. There are many talented individuals who lack a budget for marketing, so I offer them a place to display their work at no cost. Building a bridge between the contemporary, fine, and artisan world is very important to A Thousand Facets. Each segment of the jewelry world is compartmentalized and designers don’t know about it each other’s work. There’s so much they can learn from each other while creating a thriving community.

  • The Halstead Grant: Top 5 Finalist Emily Shaffer
    In the fifth episode of Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown sits down with contemporary jeweler Emily Shaffer. This past August Emily applied for the Halstead Grant and placed as a Top Five Finalist. Halstead is a full service jewelry supply firm that was launched in 1973 and is still family owned and operated. As a company Halstead strives to support small business and emerging artists; most notably through their annual Halstead Grant. 
    Each year one artist is selected as the winner and ten other artists are announced as either Top Five Finalists or Top Ten Finalists. Sarah sits down with Emily to discuss what the Halstead Grant is, what the application entails, and what one can gain beyond the monetary awards. 
    Originally from Pennsylvania, Emily received her B.F.A and B.S. from Kutztown University in 2014. Going to school within short distances of New York City and Philadelphia exposed her to contemporary art and fashion. Post graduation, she moved to Maine for a one year internship with practicing studio jeweler, Cara Romano. She since has made a home in Maine to begin her career creating wearable, contemporary jewelry. Living in rural Maine inspires her sense of resourcefulness and independence, and a constant drive to create. Her current focus is to create jewelry line that is clean, modern and versatile, while seeking compositions of line and negative space.

  • My First Craft Show: Advice from Rea Rossi
    In June Sarah received the news that she has been accepted as an Emerging Artist for this year's PMA Craft Show taking place November 9-12th. This will be Sarah's first craft show experience; she's a bit overwhelmed and is hoping Rea can clarify a few details for her.
    The two jewelers discuss what exactly a craft show is, why they chose to apply, and how much money Sarah can plan on investing into this experience. Doing shows of this caliber is expensive - but the payoff can go far beyond one's bank account.
    **Corrections: The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show is a project of the Women’s Committee; all proceeds benefit the museum. Dates of this year’s show were incorrectly stated, the show runs from November 9th through the 12th – not the 17th. Lastly, Prize winners receive $1,000, a prize ribbon to hang in their booth and the option to have a place in the show the following year. Those artists still pay the application fee and a booth fee.

  • The Adjunct Hustle: A conversation with Emily Cobb
    In the first episode of Perceived Value Sarah Rachel Brown discusses the adjunct hustle with one of the busiest individuals she knows, Emily Cobb.

Being an adjunct is valuable experience for those wanting to teach in academia; here we break down what this experience entails.
