Description

What you’ll learn in this episode: What parameters to consider when deciding how to catalogue a collection. How Rebekah came to work exclusively in steel. Why cataloguing jewelry is so important in telling its story. Digital and analogue strategies for cataloguing your collection.  About Rebekah Frank: Rebekah Frank is a jewelry artist and metalsmith whose chosen material is steel, a fascination discovered through a challenge received when she was 18. Her creative practice has focused on steel ever since, as she worked as a blacksmith, a welder, a machinist and, currently, a jeweler. Rebekah’s studio practice is based in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA, and she exhibits, lectures and teaches workshops all over the world. Rebekah worked with Art Jewelry Forum, an international nonprofit dedicated to the appreciation of art jewelry, from 2012 to 2018, leading the organization as the Executive Director from 2015 to 2018. She is currently a member of The Outpost, an activation group focused on how art jewelry can exist in the world.

Every day, people surround us wearing art, history, and culture, but we usually don’t pay attention. Most people think about jewelry as an afterthought or accessory. But jewelry can tell a larger story, one reflecting the connection between contemporary culture and that of yesteryear. Is jewelry clothing, art, status symbol, or something more? The jewelry world seems to be hidden in plain sight and little understood. The Jewelry Journey podcast explores the many aspects of jewelry and its status as art. We talk with those who live and breathe this form of adornment: makers, dealers, gallerists, academics collectors and more. The goal is to elevate the conversation beyond Etsy or big diamonds and see jewelry in a new light, so that we can appreciate the little pieces of wonder that float by each day.
