MEMBERSHIP IN THE SOUTH FLORIDA JEWELRY ARTS GUILD
Membership is open to all. You are invited to become a part of our enthusiastic, growing organization of local area jewelry artists. Thinking of joining? You are invited to attend one meeting as a guest.
Our talented members cover a wide range of expertise, from beginner and hobbyist to professional and instructor, reflecting trends among jewelry artists to utilize novel and diverse materials.
