HOTWEEK: Forming and Performing

Welcome to this year's workshop during HOTWEEK at Metal and jewelley, Art and craft. Tutors of the workshop "Forming and Performing" are Gisbert and Rose Stach. Open to everybody!

Place: Metal and Jewellery, The Oslo National Academy of the Arts / KHiO
Duration: 4 days
Workshop tutors: Gisbert Stach and Rose Stach
Open to everybody.

Join us - open for registration! (See below.)


The aim of the workshop is to experience a different process for realizing new concepts or designs. Working with other media than what jewelers are used to work with can support the processes of researching for ideas, developing concepts and thinking about the philosophical and morally questions of jewellery. Inspired from new developed aspects the participant has the possibility to integrate these experiences in their art work.

The workshop starts with using the medium of video, photo, performance and interviews. The participants will be asked to think about different aspects of jewellery; like value, moral, symbolic and historic context. During the workshop they will work with these mediums and present their research about jewellery by showing the results of their work - alone or in a group setting.

Based on the research they have done about jewellery, the next step is to design and make a piece. This can be a one-off artistic piece of jewellery or jewellery that would be a multiple. Here as well the participants can work alone or in a group.

By the end of the workshop we will have an exhibiton and presentation of the finished pieces supported with video, photos, interviews or performance.
