Author Description

AJF is proud to present 'AJF Best of Interviews': the selection comprises a selection of 20 interviews that together provide insights into contemporary jewelry's backstage: teachers, makers, curators, collectors, designers and dealers discuss how they do it, why they do it, and occasionally, with whom they do it. We are particularly happy to present two unpublished interviews, conducted specially for this publication: Dorothea Prühl - showcased this year in the Klassiker der Moderne exhibition and the Handwerksmesse - answers the questions of Benedikt Fischer and Iris Eichenberg; Matthew Friday and Kerianne Quick, meanwhile, discuss their Affective craft Manifesto with Benjamin Lignel.
