recovered + being updated
US jewelry, metals, and CAD-CAM teaching programs and the people who taught them — the old Tyler School of Art directory, brought current. 843 names across 463 programs; the 779 in bold have a page. Degree-granting programs and their faculty come first; craft schools, studios, and workshops follow.
🔥 see them on the map → ↳ the lineage & timeline →Each built page sets the archived 2014 entry beside today's facts, with the teachers, students, and programs that connect it to the rest of the directory.
Names in grey don't have a page yet — held back pending a clearer source (the archived listing is the trusted baseline; anything newer is checked against a citation). Some are low-confidence or disputed on purpose, left visible rather than guessed at.
Mirror & extend this. The whole project is open source — the database (acmet.db),
the build scripts, and the recovered archive all live in one repo:
github.com/philrenato/acmet-l2.
Clone it, open the folder with an LLM (Claude Code or similar), and pick up where this left off —
add people, verify claims, fix a record, or rescope it past metals. Start with
MIRROR.md.
Nobody needs permission to be in a directory; living people get a say before anything new goes public.
