New Traditional Jewellery 2010/ TRUE COLOURS
Deadline: before 1 June 2010 (EMAIL)
Registration form + Design form (email both before 1 JUNE 2010)
send together with the design by post between Monday June 28. – Saturday July 17. 2010
TRUE COLOURS
New Traditional Jewellery 2010
International Design Contest and Exhibition
Amersfoort, The Netherlands
Objective
The preservation of worldwide cultural heritage, the reassessment of symbol bearers, the creation of new traditions,
the revival of old traditions in a new form. This year (2010) participants are invited to design a piece of jewellery based on a new theme: True Colours
True Colours may be approached from a social perspective, society if full of topical colour coding. Other examples may be found in heraldry, folklore and science.
True Colours refers to colours and pigments. Over the centuries the palette of art history has been determined by precious mineralogical and biological pigments that were obtained from ground semi-precious stones, processed metals, and earth, seeds and plants – materials that did not always bear the test of time; in the course of time white lead, e.g. turned black.
The link between the theme ‘True Colours’ and contemporary jewellery design is obvious. From time immemorial the significance and appreciation of jewellery have been determined by colour, among other things. From the use of gold or silver to enamels and mineralogical and biological stones: colour is a language. In the seventies and eighties it became manifest how rich this language is. The application of textiles and Perspex in jewellery led to a new form language and use of colour – an important stage in the emancipation of contemporary jewellery design.
True Colours is about the history, meaning, value, magic and power of the language of colour.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS NEW TRADITIONAL JEWELLERY 2010
The group of potential contestants is distinguished into two categories:
Category A : established jewellery artists and silverdesigners
Category B : final-year and advanced students of all art academies and fourth-level students of the gold
and/or silversmith disciplines of training colleges, or comparable levels of part time education or evening classes
Each participant may submit only one finished piece of jewellery
The ornament should be wearable
The designs may not have been exhibited before nor seen/sold by third parties. Only ornaments made
specifically for this contest will be eligible for nomination.
Apart from the design the participant is also expected to supply an explanation of the underlying idea,
an inspirational text (no more than 15 lines) and a photograph of the source of inspiration.
All nominated designs will remain in the possession of the organization during all exhibitions and will
not be returned for the duration (2.5 years at the most)
Materials to be used
The choice of materials is completely free.
Criteria
The impartial technical jury will judge the designs on the basis of the following criteria:
• interpretation and concept
• innovation and development
• execution of the design
The designs will be judged on the basis of anonymity.
The results of the competition are incontestable.

HANGING BY A THREAD
Deadline: 5 February 2010 (RECEIVE)
HANGING BY A THREAD
2010 New Zealand Costume and Textile Association Conference
Call for Papers
HANGING BY A THREAD
Tales of disaster and survival
In April 1968 the inter island ferry Wahine headed into Cook Strait, loaded with passengers and freight. Among her various items of cargo - a small brilliantly coloured cocktail dress - lovingly packed in a suitcase. As the ferry came to its ill-fated end on Barrett’s Reef, the suitcase and dress were abandoned as its owner fled to safety on the last lifeboat.
Months later “out of the fuel oil, the slimy silt and rust of the Wahine’s hold,” the dress was rescued and restored to its former glory - its miraculous recovery attributed to the survivalist properties of pure wool. To the promoters of wool this story was not only of the survival of a woman and her favourite party dress, but ammunition for an industry fighting to survive the synthetic revolution and willing to exploit every promotional opportunity at its disposal, even a national disaster.
Historically, and within current practice, costume and textiles are synonymous with survival, and are certainly no stranger to disaster. The 2010 New Zealand Costume and Textile Association conference will address the perilous theme of Hanging by a Thread. We look forward to receiving moving, inspirational, and thought provoking papers that tell tales of disaster and survival.
Abstracts
You are invited to submit abstracts of no more than 300 words on the theme Hanging by Thread. Please include a short biography.
Abstracts should be forwarded to Dr Jane Malthus by Friday 5 February 2010.
Postal address:
Dr Jane Malthus, Traquair, 2000 Lee Stream-Outram Road, RD 2, Outram 9074
Email: james.reid@xtra.co.nz
Applicants will be advised if their abstract has been accepted by Friday 5 March 2010.

From contemporary fashion to street wear, to experimental ideas and avant-garde collections, Toronto Arts and Fashion Week features over 40 runway shows from the best emerging and established, national and international designers, setting the standard for a new era of cutting edge presentations on the catwalk.
In it’s fifth year, Toronto Arts and Fashion Week also exhibits photography, short films, videos and large projections from over 100 emerging and acclaimed, national and international artists annually. In addition, we showcase cutting-edge, dynamic and forward-looking performances from performance artists, fashion designers and dancers along side sculptures, installations and large multimedia art works that reflect on the notion of the body, clothing and fashion.
We are currently accepting proposals in:

The 2010, fifth anniversary edition of Toronto Arts and Fashion Week titled “Made With Love” approaches design and art from the intelligence of the heart. It explores the complexities and range of human feelings and the way we relate to the world from an emotional point of view. Love is explored on a broader scale as a complex emotion through four explicit themes: Longing, Lust, Rage and Joy. Artists and designers will interpret and reflect on the human condition; their own and our collective state of being, expressing their ideas through art, design, performance and music.

A Time of Change
This blog was started (nearly 4 years ago) with the intent of providing easy access to Fiber/Textile focused opportunities for artists. There have been a few "fits and starts” along the way but we achieved our goal and even continued to evolve. The next stage of our development brings the following changes:
We now join you on the other side by becoming READERS of this fine blog. Thanks for taking the journey with us.
Cheers,
The Keeper
- The Keeper is bowing out. It's been a good run but it's time to move on to other projects. The reins have been handed over to a very good friend — Elise N. — who shall guide FACFE from this point forward.
- Fiber Art Calls for Entry shall no longer be sponsored by Art Craft Design Culture. Our friends (who are also in transition) have been very good to us. Their support has been invaluable. We thank them and wish them well.
- The focus of the blog shall remain the same but expect additions and enhancements to the overall experience.
We now join you on the other side by becoming READERS of this fine blog. Thanks for taking the journey with us.

Lulan Artisans Design Competition
Deadline: December 15, 2009 (RECEIVE) (Online)
Lulan Artisans
Design Competition
Charleston, S.C.
Note: This Competition is intended to produce designs that will be included in Lulan Artisans 2010 textile collection, as well as populate a database of Creative Commons designs that weaving cooperatives around the world can use to increase their ability to make a sustainable living and be less at risk of poverty. As set forth in detail below, the prize is the sole payment that each winner shall receive from Sponsor and each winner must agree to transfer all right, title and interest in their entry to Sponsor in exchange for receiving any prize from Sponsor. No further royalties of any kind shall be owed to any winner. If this is unacceptable to you, then do not enter this Competition.
Competition Brief (truncated)
Lulan Artisans is looking for new and innovative designs that will help Lulan to continue to stand out in the market and that will be produced using traditional techniques and construction methods. We would like designs that highlight the weavers’ skills by focusing on the “woven by hand” aspect of production while still incorporating the contemporary modern aesthetic as Lulan currently does.
Lulan is primarily interested in receiving designs that are:
Structural weaves
Ikat designs
Block-print designs
We may also consider designs that focus on:
Embroidery
Supplementary weft
Fiber content: The winning designs that will be added to Lulan Artisans’ collection will be made of organic cotton and/or linen.
Most designs may be used to create an upholstery-weight fabric, while others will be considered for lighter weight for drapery use, apparel use or throws. A variety of applications will come from each design and the differing weight of these textiles.
Schedule
The Lulan Artisans Textile Competition 2009 starts on Monday June 1, 2009 and ends on Sunday, December 15, 2009. Entries may be submitted at any time during this time period.
Winners will be notified in February 2010 and announced in March 2010.
Rules (truncated)
Eligibility: Open to entrants 18 years or older. All Entries must be the original creation of the entrant.
Judging: All entries will be judged based on the following criteria, each of which will be equally weighted: aesthetics, innovation, contemporary fit with Lulan design sensibility, durability, functionality and marketability (“Judging Criteria”).
Sponsor plans to select three winning entries, but Sponsor reserves the right to select less winners should entries not meet the judging criteria or more winners should the judges in their sole discretion decide that more than three entries meet the criteria and needs of Sponsor’s 2010 textile collection.
Prizes: Sponsor will select three winning entries. Each winner will receive a prize of U.S. $1,500.

The HEN blog averages 1000 hits per day with a high repeat visit count and is becoming a valuable resource for embroiderers, embroidery artists and designers. The HEN team post between 3-5 articles per day and if you would like to contribute to the blog we love to hear from you. We are looking for guest bloggers who could do a daily or weekly feature and one off articles. Any articles published will be accredited with your name and link to your website.
The HEN is excited to announce the launch of 'NEEDLE', a free quarterly online magazine dedicated to contemporary hand embroidery.
The magazine will be viewable online with links from various HEN websites. Each issue will include free projects, interviews, patterns, giveaways, how to's & reviews. We are seeking interesting stories and articles.
The first issue of NEEDLE magazine is due to be launched in the next few months and will initially be a quarterly online magazine in PDF format. NEEDLE will have a contemporary slant to it, and the HEN are interested in hearing from anyone with an interesting embroidery related story or article. This could be in the form of an interview, tutorials, projects, lifestyle, events, a day in the life of.. anything that the reader would find interesting and useful.
