The Ganoksin Project
S i n c e 1 9 9 6 Jewelry Manufacturing Methods and Techniques http://www.ganoksin.com ---------------------------------------------------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 12 November 2004 ---------------------------------------------------- "Orchid in Print" Book Series Announced MJSA and Ganoksin to collaborate on new imprint focusing on bench practices. Providence, RI - Continuing their information-sharing partnership, Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America (MJSA) and The Ganoksin Project will collaborate on a new series of books dedicated to basic bench practices. The first book, to be published by MJSA/AJM Press under the imprint "Orchid in Print," will be How to Make the Most of Your Flex-Shaft. Written by Karen Christians, owner of the Metalwerx school in Waltham, Massachusetts, the book will focus on how jewelers can ensure they choose the right flex-shaft systems and accessories for their needs, and operate them safely at maximum efficiency. It will also include a chapter of tips compiled from the Ganoksin technical archive, which includes postings from the popular Orchid forum as well as the related "Tips from the Jeweler's Bench" newsletter. The prime sponsor for the flex-shaft book is The Bell Group/Rio Grande, the Albuquerque, New Mexico-based suppliers of tools and equipment, gemstones, findings, and display and packaging. Patron sponsors are The Foredom Electric Co. in Bethel, Connecticut, and 3M Inc., which is headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota. "This new imprint is a logical addition to the list of MJSA/AJM Press titles," said James F. Marquart, president/CEO of MJSA. "Our award-winning series of books have become common references in many shops and schools, and we are pleased to be able to work with the industry's pre-eminent online resource to extend the information available to the industry." "As part of the ongoing collaboration between MJSA and Ganoksin, I am very excited about the new "Orchid in Print" books," said Dr. E. Aspler (Hanuman), founder of The Ganoksin Project (http://www.ganoksin.com). "These books will concentrate on the basics of jewelry technique, equipment, and the jewelers' environment, collected from the discussions and questions gleaned from the archives of the Orchid community. We are very happy that MJSA has taken on the project of making this valuable information available in book form." The trade book division of MJSA, MJSA/AJM Press has published three books since its formation in 2001: The Platinum Bench by Jurgen J. Maerz, At the Bench by Gregg Todd and Greg Gilman, and The AJM Guide to Lost-Wax Casting. A fourth book, 101 Bench Tips for Jewelers by Alan Revere, will be available in December 2004. All have been based on articles and columns that originally appeared in MJSA's monthly trade magazine, AJM: The Authority on Jewelry Manufacturing.
