So You Want To Be A Jewelry Designer - Merging Your Voice With Form

Warren Feld

Synopsis

SO YOU WANT TO BE A JEWELRY DESIGNER
You make jewelry.  That is what you do.
But when you think jewelry and speak jewelry and work jewelry, this is what you have become.  This is your purpose.
Becoming a Jewelry Designer is exciting.  With each piece, you are challenged with this profound question:  Why does some jewelry draw people’s attention, and others do not?   When designers turn to how-to books or art theory texts, however, these do not uncover the necessary answers.  They do not show you how to make trade-offs between beauty and function. Nor how to introduce your pieces publicly.    You get insufficient practical guidance about knowing when your piece is finished and successful.  In short, you do not learn about design.  You do not learn the essentials about how to go beyond basic mechanics, anticipate the wearer’s understandings and desires, or gain management control over the process.
So You Want To Be A Jewelry Designer reinterprets how to apply techniques and modify art theories from the Jewelry Designer’s perspective.  This very detailed book, by jewelry designer Warren S. Feld, reveals how to become literate and fluent in jewelry design.  
The major topics covered include,
1.    Jewelry Beyond Craft: Gaining A Disciplinary Literacy and Fluency in Design
2.    Getting Started
3.    What Is Jewelry, Really?

The American Transportation...

Aaron W. Marrs

In the first half of the nineteenth century, transportation in the United States underwent an extraordinary transformation. In The American Transportation Revolution, Aaron W. Marrs explores the cultural influence of steamboats and railroads, which fascinated Americans across the country. 
 
 
 
Demonstrating the wide cultural reach of steam transit, Marrs draws from an eclectic set of sources, including children's books, comic almanacs, musical works, sermons, etiquette guides, cartoons, and employee rulebooks. This rich tapestry of cultural production helped "naturalize" steam technology for Americans before they ever encountered steam transit in person. Before ever seeing a railroad, Americans could read a novel that took place on a railroad, see an image of a train on currency, or purchase piano music imitating a train. These cultural artifacts made these new forms of transport feel familiar and natural. 
 
 
 
Marrs examines how cultural norms about travel emerged through the prescriptions of etiquette authors and the actions of travelers themselves, how enslaved people made innovative use of transportation networks to escape from slavery, and much more. Marrs convincingly demonstrates steam transportation's broad cultural impact on the United States, and how Americans, in turn, imprinted their own meaning on this new technology.

Homewaters - A Human and Natural...

David B. Williams

Not far from Seattle skyscrapers live 150-year-old clams, more than 250 species of fish, and underwater kelp forests as complex as any terrestrial ecosystem. For millennia, vibrant Coast Salish communities have lived beside these waters dense with nutrient-rich foods, with cultures intertwined through exchanges across the waterways. Transformed by settlement and resource extraction, Puget Sound and its future health now depend on a better understanding of the region's ecological complexities. 
 
 
 
Focusing on the area south of Port Townsend and between the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Williams uncovers human and natural histories in, on, and around the Sound. In conversations with archaeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities, Williams traces how generations of humans have interacted with such species as geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. He sheds light on how warfare shaped development and how people have moved across this maritime highway, in canoes, the mosquito fleet, and today's ferry system. The book also takes an unflinching look at how the Sound's ecosystems have suffered from human behavior, including pollution, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change.
