Featuring master goldsmith Jeanette K. Caines, curator Barbara Gifford, historian Alexis Castor and exhibition curator, Sasha Nixon.

Jeanette K. Caines is a master goldsmith with more than 27 years experience. She is the director and owner of Jewelry Arts Inc., the leading jewelry school in New York City and the only center for teaching ancient jewelry-making techniques in the world.

Alexis Castor is a social historian of the ancient Mediterranean, with special focus on Greece and Etruria. Her research interests focus on how Greek and Etruscan elite classes in general, and women in particular, used jewelry to express their status.

Barbara Gifford is an assistant curator at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York City. She has written for many publications, including Metalsmith, Modern Magazine, The Journal of Modern Craft, and for the exhibition catalogs La Frontera: Encounters Along the Border, Voulkos: The Breakthrough Years, and Ralph Pucci: The Art of the Mannequin.

Sasha Nixon (BGC MA ‘18) is a curator, historian, and practicing metalsmith. She specializes in the study of contemporary art jewelry, particularly how individual artists are influenced by ancient and historical jewelry styles and techniques.
