How To Jury Your Work

How To Jury Your Work

It is an simple and easy process to jury your work.   Please review the following guidelines 

to prepare for jurying of your work.  Just let us know if you have any questions.

 

  

Applicants must be at 18 years old or older to submit works for the jury process.

 

Potential members should  bring a minimum of 4-6 samples of each craft for evaluation by the Jury committee.  You will have an opportunity to tell the committee how your crafting process takes place, etc.  Works will be screened by a jury of no less than three Guild members, with experience in different media.  

Items made from a kit  or items that are not family friendly will not be allowed.

The work will be evaluated on the following criteria:

 

         A.  Originality - Scale of 1 - 6 Points

              Judged on uniqueness of item.  Use of medium.   

              Concept of product.

         B.  Quality - Scale of 1 - 8 Points

              Quality of craftsmanship and quality of materials  

              used. 

         C.  Appearance - Scale of 1 -6 Points

              Use of color, textures, and materials.   

              Presentation and attention to detail.

 

 

The scores will be combined and averaged for a final score. Applicants with a  score of 16 out of 20 will be invited to join the Guild. 

 

Jurying takes place between 10:30-10:55 am  of the monthly meeting. You must schedule an appointment to jury your items. Jurying is not held during  June, July, October, November or December.

 

Applicants should  set up their items before 10:30 am   

 

We realize that not everyone is able to  have their crafts juried on our scheduled meeting days. The LVCG accepts applicants to jury by sending 5-8 clear pictures of  their work to lasvegascraftersguild@yahoo.com.  Please send a detailed description along with each photo.  We may request to view the actual items in photos before making final decisions on extending an invitation to join the Guild.

 

Applicants should schedule an appointment by sending an e-mail to:  lasvegascraftersguild@yahoo.com
