Viviana Langhoff’s work is centered on the idea of heirloom. “History, family, and storytelling are all often focused around objects; I’ve always wanted to design, craft, and make that heritage beautiful.”Viviana established her point of view in the realm of fine jewelry after studying conceptual design at the School of the Art Institute. She continued her education in metalsmithing at Columbia College while simultaneously working under both fine jewelers and contemporary art jewelry makers. She’s now been working in design under her own name for over 10 years, creating custom fine jewelry, interiors, and decorative objects.Viviana is known for her intricate metalwork, modern bridal styles, and one-of-a-kind pieces featuring unexpected hues, antique stones, and historical reference. Borrowing from the worlds of fine art, cultural adornment, and design, her custom work appeals to the expressiveand open-minded individual— those who value individuality, creative collaboration, and are unafraid to stand out.Viviana’s pieces can be found along 30 other artists’ work at her jewelry store, Adornment +Theory, in the Chicago neighborhood of Logan Square. When not working with custom clients and jewelry, Viviana can be found hosting gatherings, gardening, traveling, and spending time with her husband and two chubby pups.INSPIRATIONMoorish Architecture.

About the curators:Manuela Jimenez and Kendra Pariseault studied together at the Rhode Island School of Design and are both interested in exploring themes regarding social media and how it influences our work and our public versus private lives. They are curious about how exposing one’s process through social media outlets can inform an artist’s work. Throughout their careers, Manuela and Kendra have worked in both the commercial jewelry industry as well as in the fine arts world and have seen the spectrum of where these two fields connect and differ. Within this experience they have encountered the many ways in which the public perceives the process of the handmade versus the manufactured, the curiosity towards both processes, and the ways in which social media is now exposing these previous unknowns. Through #fail #success they would like to bring together artists who are using social media as a platform to celebrate their process of making.Instagram Handles:@kendrapariseault and @kendrapariseaultjewelry@manuelajimenezr@iconsatplayParticipants of #fail#success NYCJW 2018@emikooreware @kurtpio @georginatrevino @franziskastetter @mlleguillaume @friendshipparadox_work @friendshipparadox @bryanparnham @arthur_hash @huhsena @ameliatoelke @_mallory_weston_ @_emily_cobb @silviaardilajewelry @sam____tyson @holdensc @lazyliberty @camila_escobar_velez @na_manu @instagrama123 @mariatriticoDon't forget to Rate AND Review us on iTunes!SUPPORT PERCEIVED VALUE!www.patreon.com/perceivedvaluewww.perceivedvaluepodcast.com/how-to-support-donate/Want a chance on the mic?

His practice brought him to Penland School of Crafts where he attended workshops before being awarded a place in the Core Fellowship Program. During the two-year fellowship, he developed a line of jewelry that focused on non-traditional etching techniques and surface design revolving around his work as a two dimensional artist. His metalwork varies from collections of jewelry to singular, stand out studio pieces. The unique studio work embraces his diverse disciplines outside of metals including drawing, painting, and photography.See his work: bryanparnham.comInstagram: @bryanparnhamjewelryMore about Pentaculum:https://www.arrowmont.org/events/arrowmont-pentaculum/ Don't forget to Rate AND Review us on iTunes!     Normal   0           false   false   false     EN-US   JA   X-NONE                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} MUNICH JEWELLERY WEEK! www.munichjewelleryweek.comFind JV Collective at #21 on the Current Obsession map.

The two women pop a bottle of champagne and discuss what sparked Mallory's interest in metals, the joys of working at a bowling alley, and how Ms. Weston came to be involved in the international art jewelry community. Mallory Weston is an artist currently living and working in Philadelphia, PA. Her work involves a marriage between traditional jewelry techniques and textile techniques and she creates large-scale wearable pieces that allow metal to move with the fluidity of fabric.  She recently received her MFA in Jewelry + Metalsmithing from Rhode Island School of Design, graduating in 2013. Mallory currently works as a professor of Jewelry and Metals at several Philadelphia area colleges and universities.  In addition to her career as an educator, she maintains an active studio practice as a member of the JV Collective, a group of five female art jewelers.  Her work was most recently featured in the solo exhibitions KNOCK OFF at Platina Gallery in Stockholm, Sweden and Of Ophidia at Sienna Patti Contemporary in the United States.  She is an engaged participant in the global art jewelry community, regularly participating in group exhibitions both nationally and internationally.  In the spring of 2016 she was selected as an artist in residence with the Artist Studios program at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City.  Her work can be found in the permanent collection of the CODA Museum and the Stedelijk Museum s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands.malloryweston.comInstagram: @_mallory_weston_ Follow Mallory and Sarah’s Contemporary Jewelry Collective at:Instagram: @jv_collectivewww.jv-collective.com Love #PerceivedValuePodcast?

In the seventh episode of Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown sits down with the jewelry blogger A Thousand Facets. Sarah sits down with this social media maven to discuss how one becomes a jewelry blogger, if there is a paycheck involved, and the importance of saying please and thank-you. Since 2010, A Thousand Facets has showcased the work of over 1,400 jewelry designers from around the world. Its mission: to give small, independent designers in the different facets of jewelry design (contemporary, fine, artisan etc.) a platform to showcase their work. Most of these designers are one-person shops. There are many talented individuals who lack a budget for marketing, so I offer them a place to display their work at no cost. Building a bridge between the contemporary, fine, and artisan world is very important to A Thousand Facets. Each segment of the jewelry world is compartmentalized and designers don’t know about it each other’s work. There’s so much they can learn from each other while creating a thriving community.

n the sixth episode of Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown sits down with the Philadelphia-based writer Sarah Rose Etter. The two women discuss Etter's path to becoming a published author, the joys of being a prison reporter, and how one finds themselves isolated in Iceland writing a novel. Sarah Rose Etter is the author of Tongue Party (Caketrain Press), which was the winner of the 2010 Caketrain Award as judged by Deb Olin Unferth. Her work has appeared or or is forthcoming in Vice, Juked, Hobart, Black Warrior Review, Salt Hill Journal, and more. She is a contributing editor at The Fanzine alongside Blake Butler, and a columnist at Philadelphia Weekly. Her work has been translated into French by Editions Do. She has presented work at the Society for the Study of American Writers, and was an attendee of the Gullkistan Artist Residency in Iceland. www.sarahroseetter.com www.twitter.com/sarahroseetter www.instagram.com/sarahroseetter

In the fifth episode of Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown sits down with contemporary jeweler Emily Shaffer. This past August Emily applied for the Halstead Grant and placed as a Top Five Finalist. Halstead is a full service jewelry supply firm that was launched in 1973 and is still family owned and operated. As a company Halstead strives to support small business and emerging artists; most notably through their annual Halstead Grant. Each year one artist is selected as the winner and ten other artists are announced as either Top Five Finalists or Top Ten Finalists. Sarah sits down with Emily to discuss what the Halstead Grant is, what the application entails, and what one can gain beyond the monetary awards. Originally from Pennsylvania, Emily received her B.F.A and B.S. from Kutztown University in 2014. Going to school within short distances of New York City and Philadelphia exposed her to contemporary art and fashion. Post graduation, she moved to Maine for a one year internship with practicing studio jeweler, Cara Romano. She since has made a home in Maine to begin her career creating wearable, contemporary jewelry. Living in rural Maine inspires her sense of resourcefulness and independence, and a constant drive to create. Her current focus is to create jewelry line that is clean, modern and versatile, while seeking compositions of line and negative space. emilyshafferstudio.com Instagram: @emilyshafferstudio

Sarah sits down with the secretary of the Metals Collective, Shelby Goldsmith. The two women discuss how the collective came to be, what it takes to be a member, and the value of creating your own community.

As a visual artist, Sarah understands the value of having high quality images of her work. The two artists sit down to discuss how Drew came to be a photographer, his mixed bag of jobs, and his affiliation with Maine Media Workshops + College. Hiring a photographer can be intimidating and expensive; here Sarah seeks perspective from behind the lens.

In June Sarah received the news that she has been accepted as an Emerging Artist for this year's PMA Craft Show taking place November 9-12th. This will be Sarah's first craft show experience; she's a bit overwhelmed and is hoping Rea can clarify a few details for her. The two jewelers discuss what exactly a craft show is, why they chose to apply, and how much money Sarah can plan on investing into this experience. Doing shows of this caliber is expensive - but the payoff can go far beyond one's bank account. **Corrections: The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show is a project of the Women’s Committee; all proceeds benefit the museum. Dates of this year’s show were incorrectly stated, the show runs from November 9th through the 12th – not the 17th. Lastly, Prize winners receive $1,000, a prize ribbon to hang in their booth and the option to have a place in the show the following year. Those artists still pay the application fee and a booth fee.

In the first episode of Perceived Value Sarah Rachel Brown discusses the adjunct hustle with one of the busiest individuals she knows, Emily Cobb. The two women discuss what exactly an adjunct is, all the fancy terminology academics use to describe themselves, and how much money Emily is actually making from all this hustling. Being an adjunct is valuable experience for those wanting to teach in academia; here we break down what this experience entails.
