Credit & Recognition
The AJS Kids Jewelry Camp program was conceived and launched in 2018 by Libby Brown, Executive Director of the Atlanta Jewelry Show, as the first youth-focused jewelry program of its kind in the industry. The program’s curriculum and on-site instruction have been expertly led by Mindy Spritz, Camp Director, whose creativity and dedication have shaped each camp experience since its inception.
In 2025, Libby Brown expanded the program with the launch of Next GEM Academy to meet the needs of returning campers ready for advanced skills, real-world business knowledge, and mentorship opportunities. Together, these programs represent the Atlanta Jewelry Show’s ongoing commitment to fostering entrepreneurship, craftsmanship, and community among young makers.
