The Society of American Silversmiths is the world's #1 resource for anything related to the silversmith's art and craft. SAS was founded in April 1989 as the nation's only professional organization devoted solely to the preservation and promotion of contemporary silversmithing. Its Artisan members, those silversmiths who have been juried into the Society based on their outstanding technical skill, are provided with support, networking, and greater access to the market. SAS also educates the public in demystifying silversmithing techniques, silver care, restoration & conservation, and the aesthetic value of this art form through its comprehensive Web site.
Another aim of SAS is to assist those students who have a strong interest in becoming silver craftspeople. With the aid of SAS and its many supplier discounts, students will be better prepared to start their lives as professional silversmiths upon graduation. In addition to an outstanding benefits package, all members have access to the Society's technical and marketing expertise and a unique referral service that commissions silver holloware, flatware, and sculpture from its Artisans. The archives contain Artisan resumes, over 1,400 slides, 400 photographs, and a maker's mark registry for identification.
The Society of American Silversmiths (SAS), its members, editors, contributors, and executive director disclaim any responsibility or liability for damages or injuries as a result of any construction, design, use, manufacture, restoration & conservation advice, or other activity undertaken as a result of the use or application of information contained on this Web site and all other SAS publications.
