Findings Magazine

Findings is the ACJ printed magazine for members. Published twice a year and posted to members, it reviews shows, technical innovations, materials and subjects of interest to makers, collectors, galleries and museums.   

We are grateful for assistance from the Goldsmiths' Company, who have enabled us to publish these back issues online.
