About the teacher:
Kira Fritsch was born in Stuttgart and lives and works in Munich. She trained as a goldsmith from 1983 to 1987 and has been running her own workshop in Munich since 2001. From 2008 to 2010, she studied at the Academy of Design in Munich.

In her jewelry practice, Fritsch explores the human desire to adorn the body and the personal and social meanings attached to jewelry. Her work questions traditional ideas of identity, belonging, protection and ornamentation. By combining familiar forms and associations with unexpected materials and subtle aesthetic contrasts, she challenges conventional ways of looking at jewelry and explores the boundaries between function, ornament and art. kirafritschschmuck.wpcomstaging.com
