DESCRIPTION:Join Robert Ebendorf\, Ron Porter\, Joe Price\, and curator Rebecca Elliot for a discussion of Ebendorf’s jewelry and the experience of collecting it. Ebendorf will describe his development from a midcentury-modernist metalsmith to an artist who creates collages and jewelry using found objects.

He received further training in metalsmithing in Norway through a Fulbright Fellowship (1963–64) and a Tiffany Foundation Grant (1966–67). Ebendorf was a professor of metalsmithing at Stetson University (DeLand\, Florida\, 1964–67)\, the University of Georgia-Athens (1967–71)\, the State University of New York at New Paltz (1971–89)\, and finally East Carolina University (1997–2016). He has also taught hundreds of jewelry and found-object assemblage workshops across the United States and abroad. Ebendorf has received numerous awards\, including induction into the National Metalsmiths Hall of Fame (2004)\, a Master of the Medium award from the James Renwick Alliance (2005)\, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of North American Goldsmiths (2014).
