DEADLINE: 16/07/2019
The project of contemporary jewellery started out as an idealistic one that aimed to change our thinking about what jewellery was and what it could be. In our increasingly image-driven era of late capitalism, how do you articulate and shape your position within contemporary jewellery practice? What is it that draws you to work with this particular subject matter and medium? What are the sources and resources that support and inform your ideas and working processes? How do you continue to sustain, renew and develop these? How can this practice remain relevant within the bigger picture of other art and design practices?
In this masterclass, we will allow these questions to guide us. With a series of questions and subjects to work from, we will use each other and our surroundings and sources (the City of London) to brainstorm and search for ideas, materials and starting points to generate some tentative answers without the need for solid conclusions.
Who is it for?
This masterclass is aimed at experienced professional makers, jewellery artists and craftspeople from all parts of the world, as well as ambitious jewellery students that are interested in thinking through making. Participants are expected to have an open, inquisitive and experimental attitude towards the work.
Who will run the workshop?
