Embossing, punching and guilloche engraving are techniques that have almost faded into oblivion. These trailblazing manufactory production methods were crucial to the rise of Pforzheim’s jewellery industry in the nineteenth century.
Today they are experiencing a new lease of life in contemporary jewellery. The ‘Manufactory-Style Jewellery Design’ project fosters the passing down of experiential knowledge through the collaboration of artisans and designers from three generations.
The “Manufactory-Style Jewellery Design” project, including the “Pforzheim Revisited” semester project, fosters the traditioning of experiential knowledge through the collaboration of artisans and designers from three generations. Thanks to their commitment, it was included by the German Commission for UNESCO in the German Register of “Best Safeguarding Practices for Intangible Cultural Heritage” in 2015.
Texts by: Dr Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut, Gert Hager, Prof. Dr Ulrich Jautz, Prof. Andreas Gut, Andrea Grimm, Cornelie Holzach, Dr Ruth Reisert-Hafner, Birgitta Hafner, Almut Benkert, Dr Christianne Weber-Stöber, Frieda Dörfer, Sandra Pfäfflin, Curt Streubel, Dr Waltraut Neuwirth, Fritz Rapp, G. Phil Piorier.
