The Hole On Purposeful Nothingness by Esther Brinkmann

You will be experimenting with a variety of tools and materials, producing holes as an entrance, a passage or an exit, bringing light or leading into the deep, dark unknown. Exploring the nature and peculiarities of holes.

Esther has always been at the vanguard of jewellery design. Jewellery can be understood as the expression of our view of the world – the world of today, and perhaps also of the future she says, Under her leadership, the jewellery class which she founded at the School of Applied Arts in Genova (HEAD) has gone on to become one of the most important training centres for jewellery design in Europe.

Above the city of Zurich
In 2014, the former atelier of sculptor Marianne Olsen, was transformed into a place where jewellery is discussed, analysed and created. The public goldsmiths’ studio features six well-equipped benches for independent work. In 2017, a series of workshops with outstanding tutors and artists will be held.

With Concentration and Quality
The workshops are aimed at goldsmiths, jewellery designers and creators, students and ambitious and interested people.

With Taste and Composure
While the workshop is underway, a homely, fresh meal will be prepared for you. Eating together is part of the process. Sometimes it’s a distraction, sometimes an in-depth study and sometimes simply pleasure.
