Jewelry design project ‘Re-Places/Key-Places’
A collaboration between three international centres of modern jewelry design exists since 1993: Tokyo (Hiko Mizuno College or Jewellery), Munich (Akademie der Bildenden Künste) and Amsterdam (Sandberg Institute). Students of these three art schools meet to establish a creative exchange and to present their work on an international platform.
