about the project

thespillsmiths.org is a two part awareness project created in response to the 2010 gulf oil spill. Part one is an art, jewelry, and video installation project which was held at Mr. Beast Gallery in Savannah, GA, November 4-9, 2010. Part two is the online interactive education platform, thespillsmiths.org, which includes documentation of the Savannah project and an online retail store where visitors can buy jewelry to support gulf oil spill clean-up efforts.

Pin-Making Workshop

Now that the designs are complete, and the 1500 brooches are cut, it's time to assemble and construct!

We are lucky to have an active Metals and Jewelry Student Association here at SCAD. They are enlisting members to join with the Spill Smiths to help build the brooches for our installation. This Thursday evening at the studio in Savannah we are going to enjoy pizza and knock out over a thousand pieces of jewelry.

Thanks to everyone who is volunteering their efforts - we couldn't do it without you!
