Survey: Jewellery Making, Manufacturing and Marketing in Atlantic Canada

This is a research project initiated by Greg Sims (Assistant Professor, NSCAD University), and assisted by Research Intern Cynthia Fraschetti (emerging artist/researcher and NSCAD graduate).

The study is aimed at gaining insights into the range of practices, common challenges, and innovative approaches within our regional jewellery industry. We strive towards creating opportunities and resources within Atlantic Canada’s jewellery sector. 

We hope to collect and share info about current jewellery production & promotion trends in the Atlantic region, while identifying support systems that enhance innovation in production processes to ultimately permit easier accessibility and market growth for local businesses.

Our goal is to foster an ongoing dialogue about jewellery education, training, and resources, while nurturing relationships among faculty, students, and emerging professionals within the established local jewellery industries in Atlantic Canada. 

Support for this project is provided by the Craft Alliance Atlantic Association and Mitacs: Business Strategy Internships.
