A fun activitiy at each conference is our Pin Swap. Attendees make pins to give away or swap with others, in any style they want. Most are enameled pins, but some are not; other media such as polymer, glass, fiber or metal are also brought.
Not sure what to make? Not sure how many to bring? Here are some samples from previous conferences, some elaborate, some simple, but it's oh so much fun to swap and have a collection of pins from other enamelists. Bring any number you want, but 2-3 dozen should suffice; they go fast! Great way to meet new people.
Notes: These are in no particular order. They are all normalized to 140 pixels wide so the photos do not reflect their sizes. Some of the artists are known, but some are not, so if you see one you know, please email the webmaster and provide the column and row for which pin you are providing the name.
Special for the 2007 Conference ... Wouldn’t it be great to have a complete set of the swap pins?!? We will be collecting a pin from each person and placing the collection in the auction. Please place your pin (with your name) into the box on the registration table.
Come Saturday night, you can bid on this special item and be the proud owner of a set of unique, individual, exclusive pins!!
