Freedom has its limitations, a lecture from Marjan Unger

Marjan Unger is a Dutch expert for applied art, specifically for jewelry art. On Schmuck 2012 she was invited to give a lecture in The International Design Museum Munich. Freedom has its limitations. Jewelry now, seen from a Dutch perspective was an excellent lecture and I was glad I was able to attend.I wrote a small blog post to give you a bit of an impression about the event. Included is a link to the actual lecture which I higly recommend to read for any contemporary jeweler!…See More

Every ‘La Leipsig’ is born from a fascination for shapes and materials, I find my inspiration there, it offers a way for me to tell my tale. Sometimes it’s as simple as a word, a flower, a stone that can spark the inspiration, that results into a new piece of jewelry.

Hi Helga

We are finally in Amsterdam! On Thursday 14  we are planning to visit Gallery Marzee in Nijmegen.  Would you still like to meet up? Is it easier for you to come there than to Amsterdam? I don't have a mobile phone here but if email me your number I can call tonight and we can catch up and make plans.  If you plans have changed and you don't have time to meet up I do understand.

Great to "see" you as well!  Will you be traveling over the big pond this year? :)  West that is!

Helga,

SNAG conferences are wonderful, so much to do and see and so many people to meet.  Your online life melts into your "real" life for sure.

 

I highly recommend you come to one of the meet and greets, for instance the smaller conference experience on the first afternoon. They are lots of fun, fast paced, informal and a great way to meet lots of people in a very short time.

 

We have started a conference group here, I will be sending 2 bloggers who will report on the ongoings and start getting in touch with all interested even BEFOREHAND. Maybe you'd like to join ?

See you at SNAG. Dag! (is that how you spell it?)

SNAG Toronto part 3

I come from a very different background than most at the conference. I apprenticed with a self taught flutemaker. After 3 years, the only CV I left with was a flute I made that got me hired by a Boston company. I designed my own flute from experience and imagination. To this day my work has always been my only resume.At the SNAG conference almost everyone had a college degree in the arts. Whenever a speaker was introduced, their education highlights were listed along with the schools they were…See More
