The HOTWEEK project is a place for discovery and growth in the artistic fields of contemporary jewellery, object making, metalwork and related media. It is run by students and teachers from the Metalwork and Jewellery Department of the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. The aim of the project is to involve people from outside of the Academy in the activities of the department.

The tittle for HOTWEEK 2011 is “Eyeglasses”, selected according to the celebration of HOTWEEK´s 5 year jubilee. The theme is, of course, only a starting point for the production of work and can be approached conceptually, aesthetically or in any desired way.

We encourage the participants to use any kind of materials and techniques, and to discuss their opinions with our invited teachers. Our guest teachers are selected amongst the very best in the field and are well established artists.

For the second time HOTWEEK will be held at the new campus of the Oslo National Art Academy. New workshops with state-of-the-art machinery and expert technicians provide a structure that supports all kinds of creative activities.

We proudly show the works executed during HOTWEEK in an exhibited, opening the last day of the workshop.
