Eloquent hands

 

The practice of making is a joy and a privilege that we have, and it gives us the ability to express our ideas, feelings and opinions through jewellery or other objects.  It’s a practice of making well, repeating, improving, iterating – to find the form, material or concept that expresses precisely what we intend. We use our hands to touch the material, we hold the tools or press the keys, we handle the objects and by doing so we read the objects with our senses, and we keep working until it is just right. We are using our formal knowledge and our tacit knowledge to ´speak jewellery´. This goes for jewellery making, object making and other strands of making – we are involved in a process of working through concrete or meta material striving to find the right balance of `matters` to accomplish eloquence.  The options are unlimited - decision making and the editing of material with our hands is what this symposium is about.
