Appreciate a unique showcase of jewelry and metalsmithing work from a selected group of Japanese jewelry and metalsmithing students and their mentors from Hiko Mizuno College of Jewelry, Tokyo.

The Forged In Metal: Deshi/Shihyou-Mentee/Mentor exhibition, hosted by the Art Gallery at Grand Valley State University, is co-curated by Renee Zettle-Sterling, associate professor of art and design from Grand Valley State University, and James Bove, associate professor of art at California University of Pennsylvania.

This exhibition, along with subsequent lectures and workshops, will be inspiring and informative look at the future of the contemporary field of Japanese metalsmithing. It will also shed light on a trusted and profound relationship whose impact is felt for a lifetime, the mentee/mentor relationship.
