workshop cancelled

Dear Canadian jewellery community, we hope you are all safe and that you are finding ways to stay positive and creative in the midst of the current Covid-19 pandemic.

We were extremely excited to be co-hosting a workshop in Toronto with Barcelona-based artist Judy McCaig, in collaboration with George Brown College and the École de joaillerie de Montréal, but you won't be surprised to hear that the workshop has been cancelled.

In an effort to stimulate the community and provide opportunities for artists, we were truly passionate about this project and we hope that we get the chance to facilitate such events for you in the future!

Let's hope we can beat this thing quickly! Stay home, friends!

Chers abonnés et membres de la communauté du bijou, nous espérons que vous êtes tous en sécurité et en santé, et que vous arrivez à demeurer positifs et créatifs malgré la situation actuelle.

Alors que nous nous préparions à accueillir l'artiste Judy McCaig pour un workshop à Toronto, un projet mis sur pied avec la collaboration de l'École de joaillerie de Montréal et de George Brown College, nous avons malheureusement dû annuler l'événement, ce qui ne surprendra probablement personne.

Puisque nous sommes engagés à stimuler la communauté et à offrir des opportunités aux artistes du bijou contemporain, nous étions passionnés par ce projet et nous espérons pouvoir participer à l'élaboration d'autres événements de la sorte dans le futur!

Espérons que nous arriverons à combattre ce coronavirus le plus rapidement possible! Restez à la maison, gang!
