For the past 50 years, contemporary jewelry artists, educators, historians, and gallerists have traveled to the German countryside to discuss and celebrate jewelry during Schmucksymposium Zimmerhof. A small gathering of 100 people or so, many of whom sleep in tents, dissects the field in a bucolic setting, drinking spirits and eating great food prepared by dedicated jewelry students from nearby universities. As the sun goes down, a cozy chill in the air provides the perfect setting for chatting near a campfire into the wee hours of the night, and friendships are formed that can last a lifetime...
