Intro
What happens if three seasoned jewellery makers and one art historian join forces out of impatience with the current state of jewellery? Ruudt Peters, Ted Noten, Gijs Bakker, and Liesbeth den Besten initiated an educational platform called MASieraad. The first year of every two-year Master's programme has a theme. The forthcoming curriculum kicks off with "Challenging Gold". It can be read as an invitation for critical minds from all fields: "We are looking for architects, designers, philosophers, bricklayers, and dentists to challenge gold!"
