  • British Society of Enamellers Symposium

         Is contemporary enameling on the move?  The forthcoming BSOE symposium, Enamel: Contemporary Views, will address this question through the presentations of four eminent speakers from a wide range of backgrounds.  They will, through their own disciplines and expertise, address such issues as the way enameling is perceived by non-practitioners, reasons why enamels might differ in their approach from other makers and artists, current developments in US enameling, and major developments in contemporary enameling in the UK.  Discussions will follow each of the presentations.  Details about the speakers can be found on the British Society of Enamellers' web site, www.enamelling.org.  
     
         The symposium, to be held in June, will take place from 11 am to 4 pm in the lecture theatre of the Women's Library, 25 Old Castle Street, London.  The degree show for jewelry, metalwork, and enameled work from Sir John Cass College, will be open nearby from 10 am to 4 pm.  Details to ticket holders.  Tickets cost 25£, which will include a cold lunch, and can be obtained from Pat Johnson, 51 Webbs Road, London, SW11 6RX, England.
