Volunteers
If you are able to help before or during the conference let us know! We are all volunteers and need your help even for a small amount of time. Go to http://www.edgesbordersgaps.com.au/contact-us.html to express your interest.
Billeting
A great way to get to know your fellow jewellers is to share some time with them!
So, if you'd like to offer billeted accommodation to one or more interstate or overseas jewellers, please drop us a line via the contact form, located under the HOME button.
Alternatively, if you're from out of town and looking to be billeted, please also contact us and we will do our best to match you up with someone. Please note, our role is just to put people in touch with each other. We take no responsibility for what may happen after that!
Workshops
There are still places left for some of the workshops being held in the week before and after the conference. You don't need to be attending the conference to participate in a workshop however conference delegates will be given priority. http://www.edgesbordersgaps.com.au/workshopsevents.html

Something to pique your interest
Hang on a Minute
COLLEAGUES, ASSOCIATES, CONFERENCE ATTENDEES …
Situated on the edge, working within spatial and temporal borders, Hang on a Minute operates like the glue, the staple or the quintessential JMGA conference (GAP) filler.
Paying homage to Otto Künzli’s seminal work Automatenfotos (1976) Hang on a Minute is a pocket-sized program of Jewellery led actions. The project re-imagines, via playful intimate guerilla actions, the relations between site, body(s) and the ‘dots, lines and surfaces assigned to it’.
Actions are scheduled to occur during conference breaks and perform as a supplement (as with any good accessory) to the main conference proceedings.
Keep an eye/ear out for further notification.
What to bring: Yourself, a friend, a smart phone (tablet or digital camera), a mono coloured t-shirt and if possible a Selfie stick. Updates to materials list may occur closer to the event
Provocateur: Roseanne Bartley
There’s more on the website – check it out

We look forward to seeing you there!
