6 Art Jewelry ■ March 2016

A very fond farewell


W


hen I arrived at Art Jewelry 10 years ago, one of my first tasks was to write the editor’s letter.
It seemed natural, as the new Editor coming to an established magazine, that I tackle the
topic of change. Change can be exciting, I said — as artists who explore and push boundar-
ies, Art Jewelry readers know this better than most. But change is also scary, and change often means
casualties, and the temptation to curl up and stay where it’s warm and comfortable and life is not
uncertain can be ... well, all too tempting.

Now we’re facing another change: This will be the last issue of Art Jewelry. This letter now allows me
to express my thanks to all those who have supported us over the years. All the editors and artists
who have worked to create a magazine that has never failed to make me proud. All the contributors
who have so generously shared their expertise. All the advertisers who have supported us. And
especially all the readers who have followed us, who have sent in photos of their work, who have
praised us when we got it right, and not minced words if we got it wrong.

The community of jewelry makers is facing lots of changes, and will face more changes in the years
to come — in the materials we use, in the way we learn, in the ways we communicate. But for all
the changes we face, remember this: People have been creating jewelry since people first knew
they were people. That’s not going to change. To those who participate in a craft that has endured
for millennia, I have every confidence you’ll rise to the challenge of change — even though some of
the changes might be scary.
