C J Segal-Isaacson, Hungry Cat Cafe Jewelry, Ditmas Park, To Exhibit @ American Fine Craft Show @ Brooklyn Museum Nov. 19-20
Six Brooklyn artisans and a fine artist exhibit and sell their work in time for holiday shopping at Brooklyn Museum along with 83 others
Jeweler CJ Segal-Isaacson, The Hungry Cat Café Jewelry, whose studio is in Ditmas Park, joins three other jewelers, a potter and fine artist who also work in Brooklyn and are among 90 exhibitors at the fourth American Fine Craft Show Brooklyn at Brooklyn Museum, November 19-20. The tickets to the show, in the regal Beaux-Arts Court, include general admission to the Museum.
The show is produced and curated by An American Craftsman Galleries that has supported crafts artists since 1982, longer than any other gallery in New York City, representing the work of over 500 from across the country.
Segal-Isaacson said “Our jewelry is all about our customers. We enjoy customizing our designs to suit and enhance each, to alter colors, stones and length.” Segal-Isaacson’s original designs are made of gems and precious metal wire as well as cast silver. She holds a doctoral degree in medical research and is on the faculty of a medical college where she teaches and conducts research. She discovered her talent for jewelry after helping her young daughter make a necklace for her grandmother. After studying jewelry design she began to participate in fine art and craft shows.
