This workshop will include an introduction to historical and contemporary use of beads, a research visit to draw upon the cultural heritage of Armenia, and a sharing of beadwork samples.  Commercially made beads come in a wide range of colours and shapes, but there is also the possibility of exploring beads from other materials such as wood, bamboo or recycled materials to explore current concerns and forms.Through discussion, we will open up creative, imaginative possibilities and identify a line of enquiry for each participant to be tested, refined and resolved into a wearable piece of jewellery.

A 5 day workshop to coincide with the 1st Contemporary Jewellery Biennale in Lisbon on the theme of protection.

The First Lisbon Contemporary Jewellery Biennial, asks us to reflect on the significance of Body, Fear and Protection through its exhibition programme, talks, meetings and workshops. The pandemic that we are all experiencing, as well as the fear and uncertainty it has brought, led us to select salient features in the history of jewellery -those of physical and spiritual protection- as the biennial theme and invite a discussion on what this means in the 21st century.

The fundamental goal of the Budapest Jewellery Week is to provide a common platform for contemporary jewelry artists. This year a large-scale exhibition showcases artworks by outstanding artists whose oeuvre has been significantly impacting the way contemporary jewelry develops and evolves. The show is entitled IDOL, and it intends not only to present exemplary careers but also to show respect for professional commitment.
The György Ráth Villa, which constitutes an auxiliary part of the Museum of Applied Arts and will host the exhibition, will provide an exciting ambience with its art nouveau enterieur for the contemporary objects reflecting on the traditions of object design.

The festival offers a chance to experience film and moving image work from an embodied perspective and tune into movement beyond its visual impact.

Kinesthesia is presented in partnership with Middlesex University and Independent Dance.

Angela Woodhouse and Caroline Broadhead show Thermal Duets, which record traces of breath and touch, amplifying the residue and effect of body heat and indicating how the boundary of the body is not easily or tangibly defined.

Maker’s Eye: Stories of Craft is the first exhibition in the new Crafts Council Gallery. It celebrates the breadth, diversity and qualities of craft, and includes numerous craft objects made in the UK over the course of the last 50 years.

This exhibition was curated with 13 makers, putting their diverse views on craft and making at its centre. Each of the maker-selectors have work in the Crafts Council Collections. Together, they represent a cross-section of craft interests, disciplines, career stages and models of practice. We asked them to select up to 15 objects in response to the brief: “What does craft look like and mean to you?”.

In Summer 2020 we invited curator Dr Christine Checinska to consider what was missing. Her selection of works by contemporary makers plays tribute to the founding ethos of the collection – to document innovative practice by emerging makers. We hope her additions will animate conversations about the value of collections, what history is documented, what stories are told, who they are for, and who decides what is in them.

After a year during which craft became ever more present in our lives and more of us turned to craft as a source of solace and activity during the pandemic, then this dazzling array of more than 150 craft objects and the multiple viewpoints on craft and its meaning, could not be more timely.

The Jakob Bengel Foundation has asked jewellery designer and anthropologist, Martina Dempf to compile a selection of jewellery objects that represent the special features of the African culture of adornment. This will be juxtaposed with her own creations and works by invited European artists who have been inspired by encounters with African culture.

‘No Strings’ features the work of seven international artists working with glass beads in unconventional ways. The exhibition will include a beaded burger and coke by Faranak Sohi, an evening dress made using beads and safety pins by Shige Fujishiro and a beaded chicken showing his gymnastic prowess on the rings by Felieke van der Leest.
