handSTAND. Twenty One emerging contemporary jewellery artists from around NZ have performed a special handstand of their own, presented as the
feature exhibition of the 2009 NZ jewellery show.
Curator

handSTAND exhibition, with the latest from participating emerging jewellery artists in a variety of artistic styles and media. Their work reflects innovative and unusual solutions in the merger of ideas, materials and designs.

A special catalogue including the work and statements of all participating artists and well known art-craft writers is available at the exhibition and
