Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee.

Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kay Sekimachi dated April 16, 1995.

He congratulated us, even while proposing a larger and more inclusive vision of our field, and exhorting us to a more comprehensive approach to fiber. His plenary remarks were spoken extemporaneously from notes and not recorded. We recognize that their inestimable value deserves to be shared more broadly; Jack has kindly provided us with his rough notes for this keynote address. The breadth of his vision, and his insightful comments regarding fiber and art, are worthy of thoughtful consideration by all who concern themselves with human creativity. On the Textile Society of America Larsen proffered congratulations on the Textile Society of America, now fifteen years old.

The Symposium committee has sought diverse presentations about these three categories hoping to appeal to widely different tastes. Yet perhaps each one of us is a maker and also a conceptualist AND a career minded person, merging many tastes. Might not a collector of art jewelry, who happens to be a business executive, be engaged with our three categories just like a beginning metals student? Of course they are, for we are all brought together by that great cultural bonding agent, art and its creative process. Let us share our different tastes and celebrate our common passions as we gather for a day all about art! We are excited to be part of this grand adventure and pleased to have attracted not only our esteemed speakers but the following organizations, among others, who are contributing toward our programs: The Bellevue Arts Museum The Allied Arts Foundation The Pratt Fine Arts Center Northwest Designer Craftsmen Artist Trust The Northwest Bead Society Facere Jewelry Art Gallery Jewelry Resource and Supply Allcraft Denise Wallace (Chugach Aleut) and Samuel Wallace: Female Mask with Goggles pin/pendant. 1996 Newsletter cover image: Sterling silver and turquoise Belt buckle by Lee Yazzie, Navajo. 2004 2 www.seattlemetalsguild.org The Eleventh Annual Northwest Jewelry and Metals Symposium 2006 Makers : : Careers : : Concepts Mark your calendars for Saturday October 21, 2006, from 8:30am to 6:00pm, and join us at the Seattle Asian Art Museum in lovely Volunteer Park.
