Download or read book Digital Meets Handmade written by Wendy Yothers and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past twenty years, a seismic shift has occurred in jewelry design and manufacturing. As digital design, digital model-making, and prototyping have elbowed their way into common practice, they have proven themselves to be both invaluable and disruptive to the jewelry profession. Bringing together the perspectives of artisans, educators, students, mavens from the realm of fine jewelry, renegades from the Wild West of the maker movement, and innovators from the digital engineering sector, Digital Meets Handmade addresses a wide range of topics in jewelry design, delving into the broad conversation around how digital technologies and virtuoso handcraft can coalesce in jewelry as wearable art. While one might expect a collision of cultures—"fine jewelry" craftspeople versus digital engineers—the result instead is a dazzling array of critical thinking, with stunning illustrations that foretell the future of jewelry.

About the Expert Genny Wilson has been making jewelry for about six years and has no plans to stop anytime soon. Originally starting to make a little extra cash at a local festival, she found it so enjoyable she decided to give her creations away as door prizes. “I was immediately hooked.” She says,“From the moment that I finished my first piece there was no going back.” When asked why she loved it so much the hobbyist replied, “I’ve always loved making things, I love the idea of taking a bunch of things and making something new out of it. It’s much more enjoyable than buying something at the store because you took the time to make it with your own two hands.” So, what made her decide to share her jewelry making knowledge? “I’ve seen a lot of newcomers on the scene, people that for whatever reason have decided to try their hand at making jewelry. A lot of these people are just like I was when I started and have no idea how to tell the difference between a jump ring and a headpin. I wish there had been a detailed guide I could have used as reference back then.” HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.
