Since the beginning of the pandemic, Art Jewelry Forum has expanded its efforts to connect more directly with the jewelry community by regularly hosting live chats online. These feature artist studio visits, talks with gallerists about shows they’re hosting, interviews with curators and authors, and other programming tied to various jewelry weeks from around the globe. We record all these programs and post them on our website.
Melanie Eddy walks us through her solo exhibition, Meditations on Form, at Bermuda National Gallery—the museum’s first jewelry exhibition. Eve Godet Thomas, the museum’s director of exhibitions, discusses her approach to exhibiting a jewelry collection. As Director of Exhibitions, she has curated many exhibitions featuring both international and local artists. Eve spent six years as Fashion Director of The Outnet, part of the Net-a-Porter Group, and another six on the fashion desk of The Times newspaper, London. She holds a BA (Joint Honours) in French and Spanish from University College London and joined the MA: Fashion (Journalism) course at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design before taking her role on The Times.
