Metalsmith BenchTalk with Berman, Cooperman, and Martin

My Guests this Thursday, April 15th at 3 p.m. PDT on MetalSmith BenchTalk will be Harriete Estel Berman, Andy Cooperman and Brigitte Martin, talking about the Professional Development Seminar they will lead at the 2012 SNAG Conference.

 

SNAG produces the Professional Development Seminar every year during the annual conference. The Seminar delivers three hours of concrete information that will change the way you approach your work and the way you do business. This year's theme is: 

 

When It Absolutely, Positively Has to Be There: The Ins and Outs of Shipping 

 

Shipping artwork from point A to point B should be a pretty straight-forward proposition, but if you have ever shipped a fragile, valuable, large or small object, you know that getting it there can sometimes be like trying to sift through a bucket of eels. There are many shippers, many methods and finding the right answers can be slippery work. 

 

Presenters include Leila Hamdan, the Museum Registrar for the National Ornamental Metals Museum; Kim Cridler, Assistant Professor of Art and large scale maker; Harriete Estel Berman, PDS Committee Member and Maker; and a presentation by Jewelers Mutual that promises to provide tools to make shipping safer, faster and easier.
