This event is open to all ISGB members, whether in attendance at the conference or not, and offers an opportunity to present your best work in response to a specific theme. “Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.” -Carl Jung The hands are everything. They help bring a story to life, capture a moment in time, evoke the spirit of our creative process. Hands perform mundane tasks like tying shoes, they complete gestures, and they speak through our handwriting. As we age, our hands begin to tell the story of our life’s work and our creative calling, and like our work, they change over the course of time. We really are what we do. Makers truly leave a piece of themselves in everything they create. Our work is without question sacred and because of our hands, we have the great fortune to carry the story of our work with us, always. For this exhibition, glass in any form may be used with complementary mediums, diverse materials, or variations in technique. Submit color images of your pendants and brooches, or a combination of both. Include black and white images of your hands during the creative process, as well as holding one of your finished pieces. Write a brief description (paragraph of 125 words or less) of what creating with your hands means to you. All beads must be made into brooches or singular pendants strung on something for display. For example, use a short piece of ribbon, leather, cord, or chain. Up to six pieces may be submitted if you are accepted into the show. All pieces must be for sale. An inventory list with artist’s contact information and retail price(s) MUST be included with the pieces when they are submitted for the show. No exceptions will be made.
