THE JEWELRY DESIGNERS’ HUB — Subscribe Now

Posted by learntobead on July 16, 2025

I’ve always wanted a fuller online space for representing the various things I’ve been involved with. A space to bring all my writings about jewelry making, jewelry design and conquering the creative marketplace. A central place to guide people to opportunities — art and craft shows, beads, findings and other supplies, highlighting new ideas and new designers in jewelry.

My ultimate goal is to contribute a set of ideas, practical steps, and fix-it strategies to stuff into your designer toolbox, which all lead towards becoming a professional in jewelry design. Not a craft. Not only an artist. But a designer with the skills and insights for making tradeoffs between beauty and function, pure art and commercialization, and the intuitive excitement which comes from applying your creativity and the negotiation of shared understandings and desires as you introduce your pieces publicly.

I have set up this space for our community of jewelry designers — Warren Feld Jewelry’s PATREON HUB — to learn, to interact, and to provide and/or get feedback on what they are working on. Please join here.

Be part of a community of jewelry designers who recognize that we have a different way of thinking and doing than other types of crafters or artists.

WHY SUBSCRIBE?

Engage with a community. Benefit from its collective power — insights, reactions, feedback, foresight, and directing you to opportunities.

Never miss an update. You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new article of interest, and announcements about kits, workshops and webinars, chat groups, feedback sessions, and special promotions, goes directly to your inbox.

I bring articles, tutorials, and chat-group discussion sessions to you about…

  • What it means to be fluent and literate in design?
  • What the implications are for defining jewelry as an “object” versus as an “intent”?
  • Why some jewelry draws your attention, and others do not?
  • How jewelry design differs from art or craft?
  • How you judge a piece as finished and successful?
