About Orchid in Print

The “Orchid in Print” series of bench books is the result of a
collaboration between two of the jewelry industry’s strongest
proponents for sharing and distributing Manufacturing
Jewelers and Suppliers of America (MJSA) and The Ganoksin Project.

Incorporated in 1903, MJSA is the trade association that represents
the U.S. jewelry manufacturing industry. In addition to the books of
MJSA Press, it publishes an award-winning monthly magazine, MJSA
Journal; produces trade shows, including its flagship MJSA Expo New
York; and presents educational seminars and programs to better
manufacturing jewelers compete in a dynamic international
marketplace. For more go to mjsa.org.

Since they first appeared in 1996, The Ganoksin Project and its
Orchid e-mail forum have become the online resources for thousands
of jewelers across the world. The brainchild of Dr. E. Aspler of
Bangkok, Thailand, and Canadian jeweler and educator Charles
Lewton-Brain, it maintains a substantial library of articles,
publications, reports, and technical data, as well as numerous
artist galleries. For more go to ganoksin.com.

The first volume in the “Orchid in Print: Maximum Bench Work” series
is Making the Most of Your Flex-shaft by Karen Christians, which is
available through MJSA Press, The Ganoksin Project, and leading
industry distributors.

The book costs $29.50 for MJSA members and $34.95 for non-members.
It is available through the industry’s leading book distributors, as
well as Ganoksin.com and Amazon.com. Books can also be ordered
directly from MJSA at 1-800-444-6572, ext. 3038, or online at:
