Léa Mazy -  Beneath the surface -  2016 – Léa is a young French designer studying at Design Academy Eindhoven.  Léa ’s jewelry collection “Beneath the Surface” is the result of a research on materials around the notions of intimacy, preciousness, fragility, surprise, but most of all on the beauty lying underneath the surface. Combined, the individual story of each broches and rings creates a personal narration and landscape.

 

Mari Funaki was a unique and passionate advocate for contemporary jewellery in Australia, both through her own remarkable practice and her establishment and directorship of Gallery Funaki.
This Award aims to celebrate Mari’s legacy by rewarding the skills and vision of jewellers both here and overseas and by providing a platform for outstanding new work to be shown here in Australia. A panel of three judges will award prizes in both established and emerging categories, with total prize money valued at AUD$11,000.

EXPO ‘Frieda Dörfer – Beate Eismann’ – TAL20 gallery, Munich (DE) – 13-17 Mars 2014

 SCHMUCK 2014 – Munich – 12-18 Mars 2014

 

TAL20 : FRIEDA DÖRFER and BEATE EISMANN

Vernissage 13 Mars  05:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m.

« Ever since her childhood, Beate Eismann has been euphoric about the atmosphere in printers’ workshops, which she calls “a mix of heavy indus- try and precision engineering.” It was only logical for her to take metal printing plates and give them a new purpose in her jewelry. The motifs suggest mountain ranges traversed by valleys and canyons. Ink remnants, scratches, odors and labels on the plates are a code that awaits decryp- tion and chronicles the history of the plates’ former uses. » (ArtAurea) :

Beate Eismann. Versatile pendant Schriftsück II. Enameled metal, glass stones, tombac, silver, slender rope

 

« Frieda Dörfer became fascinated by guilloche ornamentation during her first semes- ter at the academy of design in Pforzheim. Reflections from guilloche can make a surface look like textile or can create a three-dimensional appearance. Guilloche “caressingly and fully covers” the hollow bodies of her jewelry. “I simply can’t stop applying guilloche until no unadorned metal or acrylic plate remains,” she says » (ArtAurea) :
