Kickstarter Campaign for Master Jeweler Stephen Page

BALTIMORE - Jan. 2, 2015 - PRLog -- Media Inquires contact: William Middleton  will@theunbolted.com  757.753.1597

December 31, 2014: For nearly a decade Master Jeweler Stephen Page has taught the art of metalsmithing and stone-cutting to aspiring jewelry makers in Baltimore.  He has done this for free, in his jewelry manufacturing studio, The Front Room, formerly located in the Woodberry, Baltimore.

In November of 2014 the lease on the Front Room ended. Page was forced to find a new location and has moved to the New Systems Bakery Building, in Baltimore’s historic and artsy Hampden neighborhood.  The new building is ideal but it needs a considerable amount of construction for Page to continue his teaching and manufacturing business.

Page has launched a Kickstarter campaign called, Moving The Studio.  Funds from the campaign will be used to complete construction on the new building, reestablish The Front Room as the place many artists have come to depend on for learning and creating new work.

Plans for the new location include:

A fully functioning jewelry and metalsmithing studio

A retail jewelry store, featuring custom jewelry designs by Stephen Page and guest designers.

A free artists work-space

3 affordable, artist, living spaces.

The success of this Kickstarter Campaign will allow The Front Room to continue as hub for up-and-coming jewelry designers and artists.  It’s retail space will be right at home in the art-centric Hampden neighborhood.  Consumers will have the opportunity to shop locally and have direct contact with the artisan creating their custom treasures.
