White by Nelli Tanner

White can be described as empty, silent, clean, light, uninterrupted. White can be a silence or endless view. White can make a landscape or hide it. White can blind or disguise us. Can we hide under white, become unanonymous? And what´s the opposite of it?
In the workshop we make a research about white: collecting, looking and exploring the boundaries of a personal white. This is combined to each participant’s exploration in jewellery. The workshop starts as a white paper in a beginning of a project and grows to its length by the participants and the mentor. Through conceptual and material thinking and try-outs the participant gets a support to his/hers way of expression.
