Maria Cristina Bellucci workshop : Workshop abstract

We are ever more surrounded by utilitarian objects in our daily life; these objects represent the things that make up our individual worlds.
By changing the way we look at things around us, we will activate our creativity and expand our conception of the everyday.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE:   20 JULY 2013

The objective of the workshop is to revisit the ordinary objects, deconstruct and decontextualize them in order to create new forms, change their original purpose and give them new meanings.
“Transformaction” workshop intend to bring together jewellery artists, designers and other playful people to re-imagine the ordinary, experience new creative opportunities and create challenging contemporary jewellery objects.

 

Organized by :

Maria Cristina Bellucci:   The work I’ve been producing over the last years explores ordinary objects and ways of taking them out of their ordinary context;  by transforming readymades I extend and reconfigure their properties.  I find that an interesting way to reflect on perception and sensitivity and work on this qualities.

Maria Cristina Bellucci  Necklace: 12 necklace 3 – 2012  Coloured pencils, silver

Arianna Pittini:   having travelled to England to study , I gained a Bachelor degree and Master degree in jewellery design.  Contemporary Jewellery fascinates me; I enjoy investigating how worthless materials may be ascribed value when placed in the context of jewellery.  My approach to materials and practice is intuitive, I enjoy using a unprecious materials, in particular paper, fabric, iron. I have taught Art and Design in England and I am lecturing  in “jewellery design”  in an Art Accademy in Rome.

EXPO ‘Red Thread’ – Vryssaki, Plaka (Athens, Greece) – 5-9 June 2013

« Our red thread » Exhibition of arts and contemporary jewellery

Inspired by a red thread, which led the imagination of students, younger and older, to create artistic structures, the Art and Communication Workshop Bleuteleia and the Contemporary Jewellery Workshop Anamma are exhibiting together.  Curators: Anastasia Kandaraki & Emily Bantouna

Opening: Wednesday, June 5th, 2013, 7 pm

This game of artistic relay race with the red thread began with the children of the Bleuteleia Workshop, who created drawings and gave them to the students of Anamma, who in turn created their own jewellery.

EXPO ‘In between’ – Museo N. de Cerámica, Valencia (ES) – 14 Mai-7 Juil. 2013

Christine Graf : « In between » Joyería Contemporánea en EASD Valencia

Exposición de la joyera y esmaltadora alemana Christine Graf.

El 14 de mayo a las 19h. se inaugura la exposición « In between » en las salas del Palacio Marqués de Dos Aguas de Valencia (Museo N. de Cerámica y Artes Suntuarias González Martí de Valencia.) -  La exposición podrá verse hasta el 7 de julio.

Los próximos 15, 16 y 17 mayo, a las 10 h, Christine Graf impartirà el curso (workshop) « Enamel. A multi-coloured voyage of discovery », un taller para experimentar con el esmalte.

Como la propia Christine Graf afirma, la inspiración para su obra se encuentra en las imágenes y emociones de la vida cotidiana, que dan como resultado un complejo y polifacético “sonido visual”. Esas impresiones recibidas se conjugan con sus manos, su mente y los materiales que usa para transformarlas en piezas de joyería.

El material predilecto de Graf es la malla de cobre de manufactura industrial que trabaja como si se tratara de un tejido o de papel, lo cual le permite darle forma directamente con sus manos siguiendo su instinto. Usando las técnicas tradicionales del textil ‐transformado en metal‐, intenta cambiar las cualidades estéticas de la estructura de la malla.

A continuación aplica varias capas de esmaltado que cubren el metal, haciendo desaparecer sus cualidades estructurales y otorgándole una nueva identidad visual y metafórica.

Las piezas en contexto, la sutileza de los matices y la textura, los diferentes tamaños, los diálogos que se establecen entre el espacio y la frontera crea la ilusión de una composición múltiple : como la propia Christine

Graf lo expresa, una “sinfonía polifónica”.

Luis Acosta – Collier 2011

« En la obra de Luis Acosta, se puede encontrar una mezcla de Latinoamérica y la influencia holandesa, país donde reside. En sus Tapices  el punto de partida es el paso de un color a otro de una forma casi monocroma. Para sus textiles murales ha buscado una estructura transparente que diera la impresión de algo muy frágil pero que sugiera de un patrón ordenado. Toda su joyería es tanto un adorno para el cuerpo como para la pared. Con sus objetos de hilo y papel juega con la luz y la sombra. Le es importante trabajar con formas y colores.las primeras les dan la dimensión del trabajo mientras que la segundas le proveen de calidez.«

Workshop : Helena Lehtinen: Cameo
Cameo is a traditional piece of jewellery which has its origins in seals.
 During history it has been in and out of fashion in courts in Europe. Nowdays it is usually a red-white silhuet of a lady, most often worn by eldery ladies.
Reflecting to what this classical piece of jewellery has been in the past, students will search cameo´s meaning today. 
What it has been, what it could be? Is there any significancy left, what it could present in today´s society / to today´s people?
 What is your cameo? 
With new materials and way of working students will create new traditions in cameos. 
Working with stone is possible in the workshop.
Lead by jewellery artist Helena Lehtinen,
