CURRENT OBSESSION SOCIAL CLUB

The Social Club is a new Current Obsession venture to develop opportunities to connect and empower jewellers. Each morning we will have intimate, informal discussions with a variety of experienced artists for you to stop by and listen to at Lost Weekend, the bookstore/café that has become the headquarters for Current Obsession MJW. Look in the PAPER for more Social Club details – and as always, come enjoy the fun at the Launch Party!
