Jewelry designers and jewelry artists of all persuasions are invited to apply for the Alice Abrams Award at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts. The winner receives a complete scholarship to attend the 2015 Masters Symposium class of his or her choice. This award is sponsored by the Future of Design Jewelry Education Fund, a charitable fund founded and administered by Cindy Edelstein. The grant honors Colorado designer Alice Abrams and will be awarded to a jewelry artist who wishes to attend the Revere Academy.
The scholarship competition is open to jewelry makers who want to add skills and take their work in new directions as inspired by this educational opportunity. Each spring for the past 15 years, the Revere Academy has held a series of specialized classes taught by master craftsmen and craftswomen from around the world. Artists come for a week and teach the area of his or her specialty to students at all levels. Beginners are invited to most of the Masters classes
This year Lapidarist/goldsmith Michael Boyd will teach Stone and Metal, a class in how to carve gems and integrate them into custom designed jewelry. The Masters Symposium includes several other top level classes, which are open to all levels.
Jurors look for an individual whose work displays original, innovative, high quality jewelry design. The winner receives $1500 in tuition credit, which can be applied toward any classes at the school for one year, including the Academy’s famed Masters Symposium. Applicants must submit three print-ready images (up to 9MB in size each) of their work and answer two short essay questions.
