The Wessex branch of the Association for Contemporary Jewellery (ACJ) returns to Walford Mill this September for a month long celebration of contemporary jewellery.
Now in its 20th anniversary year, ACJ Wessex is a thriving community of the best professional jewellers, designers, and makers from across Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire.
Autumn Jewels is a selling exhibition which brings together work spanning a remarkable breadth of materials, techniques, and artistic viewpoints.
Expect to see everything from finely honed precious metals and gemstones to playful experiments in recycled plastics, textiles, wood, enamel, and found objects.
Each piece reflects the maker’s distinct voice - some bold and sculptural, others subtle, intricate, or quietly expressive - all of them handmade, original and created with care.
Join us to explore a vibrant snapshot of the imagination and skill that define contemporary jewellery in the Wessex region.
