We create contemporary jewellery by reflecting on your personal history and cultural identity - all materials and techniques are welcome. The workshop focuses on a creative crossover using multi-media. With a challenging conceptual design process, you will also gain knowledge of diverse technical means for transforming your ideas into stunning jewellery pieces. Jewellery has always been a medium for cultural identity, and has been perfectly understood by the people making and wearing it. Contemporary jewellery transcends this local heritage by creating a more global understanding. All inhabitants of the Global Village have originally grown up with cultural roots expressed in local art, design and architecture. However, "modern nomads" are at risk of losing the inner link to their initial background. In this workshop we will research how contemporary jewellery can be inspired by local art and design, wether it is traditional or modern, with a variety of styles, materials and techniques. With this knowledge everybody will sketch/design new ideas and make pieces of jewellery, using a fusion between your personal cultural roots and contemporary jewellery. This workshop can be attended by beginners and advanced artists. Students should be familiar with basic jewellery techniques.

Good Morning lovely People :) exactly 2 weeks after finishing ISA2017, we want to share with you the last results of our "Geological Experiences" workshop with Patricia Domingues. Did you ever wondered, how you start to work with gemstones in an artistic way? We can tell you, its not easy. Its a balance between the natural beauty and the need to create something, between respect and destruction. “Geological experiences - stone, concept and material” intended to explore the artistic processes and different approaches regarding the relationship between man, stone and the landscape. We think our students did really well! On our Pictures, we see the results which are still part of the process! Enjoy :)

Hello lovely people :) we hope you had a fabulous weekend! We ourselves enjoyed a lot to go through the results of Alexander Friedrichs Workshop.
