Art jewelry is a discipline that marries art and craft, forefronting creative expression \u2014 and often breaking with fine jewelry\u2019s conventions. Susan and her group of artists, jewelers, and devotees were looking to create a space in which to appreciate, nurture, support, and grow the field of contemporary art jewelry. Today, AJF is the resounding voice in art jewelry around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frank\u2019s road to AJF began when she was just out of high school. She began developing welding and blacksmithing skills through local courses <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at a California community college<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Determined to find her place within the blacksmithing world, Frank moved to Texas to establish and develop her craft. While studying welding technology and blacksmithing in Texas, she began working on large commissioned architectural ironwork, furniture as well as sculpture. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over 10 years of working as a blacksmith and welder, Frank traveled the world through metalworking grants and apprenticeships.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_36739\" style=\"width: 522px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/max_height_Studio_Shot_copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36739\" class=\"wp-image-36739\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/max_height_Studio_Shot_copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"498\" data-wp-pid=\"36739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/max_height_Studio_Shot_copy.jpg 593w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/max_height_Studio_Shot_copy-420x408.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/max_height_Studio_Shot_copy-278x270.jpg 278w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/max_height_Studio_Shot_copy-300x291.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-36739\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Studio installation (Photo: Rebekah Frank)<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With years of commissioned welding and blacksmithing work under her belt, she felt driven to pursue her own artistic inspirations.

Frank created beautifully minimal and utterly unique steel brooches and necklaces, each piece evoking the process of bending and forming metal. Through these explorations of her own creativity and the relationships formed in her final year of graduate school, Frank met the founder and acting Executive Director of Art Jewelry Forum, Susan Cummins. Their mutual passion for the art form, plus a love of organization and order, sparked a friendship \u2014 and ultimately landed her a role at AJF. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_36741\" style=\"width: 564px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/max_height_1composite_rectangleseries_web_625px.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36741\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36741\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/max_height_1composite_rectangleseries_web_625px.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"554\" height=\"576\" data-wp-pid=\"36741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/max_height_1composite_rectangleseries_web_625px.jpg 554w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/max_height_1composite_rectangleseries_web_625px-404x420.jpg 404w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/max_height_1composite_rectangleseries_web_625px-260x270.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/max_height_1composite_rectangleseries_web_625px-289x300.jpg 289w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-36741\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Untitled, Four Curves, Looped Chain, 2015, steel (Photo: Mercedes Jelenik)<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Frank runs the nonprofit out of her San Francisco office\/studio.
