EXPO ‘Blooming Fantasies …’ – Craft2eu, Hamburg (Germany) – 12 Mai-16 Juil. 2010

Craft2eu – Agency and Gallery for European Craft & Design

« Blooming Fantasies …
…are at play. They recycle plastic and transform it into delightful objects, let precious metal blossom, create ceramic picture puzzels and trickle glassy colours. In the wonderland of tiny and great objects stories full of humor and poetry are told. Put them on your finger, drink your tea from them, fill them with flowers and go on spinning them into your own flowering fantasies. »

*Kathryn Partington produces one-off wearable items of jewellery by utilising her background training within the discipline of tableware ceramics & printed  textiles. She does not leave us with the association of the hoar frost on our skin. She rather conserve it in silver, silk and porcelain with fine patterns. These are applied in various printing and embossing techniques. some of them seems total magic ; it glimmers ever so softly, shimmers delicately and comes across changing just like a changing picture does.

*Anke Hennig combines with her jewellery the colours of winter and icy glitter with her delicate transparency of textile weave, called Monofil. The secret of her invention she keeps all to herself. The rosettes which are made into brooches and earrings are light and precious : a flexible development of the chains, partly because of the secrecy of their technique and at the same time their beauty.

*Michaela Kirchner experiments with tiniest structures, which line up around the neck of the person carrying them as if they were silver-coloured floating ice. Their amorpheus shapes are, melted into tiny glitter sructures which catch the light from all sides and throw back the light, shimmering and prescious.
