Handcrafted America – Fall 2017 Season 3

I am so incredibly excited to announce I will be featured on the INSP television show Handcrafted America! The episode will air during their Fall 2017 Season 3, on Friday, October 27 at 8:30pm!

I had an extraordinary time sharing my studio and silversmithing process with the amazingly talented Jill Wagner (pictured with me above) and awesome Handcrafted America crew! It was so exciting to see behind the scenes of a film crew and how they make their magic happen.  I cannot wait to see the episode!

Handcrafted America host Jill Wagner travels the country to seek out talented artisans who continue to make products the traditional way… with their own two hands. In every half‐hour episode, Jill meets three gifted craftsmen and gets a behind‐the‐scenes look at how their products are created. Along the way, viewers learn about the history and cultural heritage that inspire and influence the design of their handcrafted products.

Kaminer would like to thank Courtenay Daniels, Chair of the Charleston Heritage Symposium, for organizing the lovely visit.  Kaminer also thanks the Duke of Devonshire immensely for taking the time to visit her studio and view her silversmithing designs.  It was a pleasure to host him and she thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person.  It was an incredible career highlight!
