Space Now by Ruudt Peters
Published: 27.01.2018

Creating an ornament is a safe activity, but with an importance placed on how the literal space of an ornament relates to its surroundings. It can be difficult to keep concepts clear to the end – the wearer looking always over the shoulder of the maker.
In SPACE NOW we will avoid the voice of society and jump into space, to try to discover SPACE in all its possible entities. SPACE NOW wants to increase your spatial contribution. To confront you with the space you take as a maker, and how you can enlarge and stretch this space. But also how we as creators relate to the space of the universe. You learn to think spatially in SPACE NOW and give shape to your spacey dreams.
In SPACE NOW we emphasize an awareness of your place as artist / jewelry-maker in the world. SPACE NOW takes the position between your self and the world. Between the real and the fake. In SPACE NOW we encourage your own image and habits and firmly confront you with them through art and art-jewellery making. SPACE NOW is about strength, we will positively convert this energy into art and art jewellery. In SPACE NOW we will only use natural materials. Materials which are supplied raw from the earth. By treating these materials with respect there arises honor and another sort of form language - a language close to man, and the wearer of jewellery.
In this workshop SPACE NOW we learn how to look, work and talk. We have to stand for what we are, and what we are making. SPACE NOW is a workshop where we will discover and explore the power of the maker. You will fine tune and connect with our own radicality, guiding yourself on the way to delve deeper into your own visual language and see yourself better.
Together we will search for your own “SPACE”. This means that you will get in contact with yourself. We will guide you through your primary experience, teach you to formulate your own space, and support you in translating this into making fine art and art jewellery. SPACE NOW is about taking another approach at our experience of creating space, a statement about how you can relate to your own inner space. Artists, students and teachers are stimulated to produce work around this idea. By doing so, it is important that there is not only the rational reflection, but also allowing the subconscious to enter into the work process. Each participant, fine-artist or art-jeweler will formulate the frame of her/his reference.
The SPACE NOW course is built on a step-by-step process of education in which an end product is not the most important goal. The emphasis lies on personal guidance and development. The participants are given the tools with which to continue this process on their own. By means of direct action people learn to take steps.
