THE RJM DESIGN CHALLENGE
Artist Panel: This conversation with Chelsea Nanfelt-Rowe, Deb Lozier, Kat Cole, and Raïssa Bump will go beyond discussions of technique to look at the psychology of the maker. We’ll investigate how RJM necessitates a mental pivot, often acting as a catalyst for new approaches or conceptual breakthroughs in an artist's general practice. When two worlds collide, this session offers a deep dive into how RJM fits into the larger narrative of a maker's studio life. Whether you view RJM as a distinct discipline or an integrated thread, this panel will offer insight on the specific design challenges of creating Madeover jewelry.

More about the series: In the Studio with Radical Jewelry Makeover
Can an artist’s personal style survive—and thrive—when working with materials that carry a history?
We invite you to In the Studio with Radical Jewelry Makeover, an immersive 4-part webinar series. Through each session we will build a powerful narrative, exploring how artists take donated, pre-loved materials and reinvent them into stunning "Madeover" jewelry for our innovative on-loan program.
This is a deep dive into the philosophy of reuse. Together, we will tackle the inherent challenges of working with used materials, the environmental impact of our craft, and the evolution of modern studio practices. Join a community of forward-thinking makers and be inspired to bring a radical new perspective to your own jewelry collection or studio practice.
