Mind the gap!

Our collective grew out of a conversation around "jewellery" vs "art". We asked whether these two terms can ever be synonymous or where they may meet? And furthermore, where do we position ourselves, we wondered, the goldsmiths, the artisans, the hand-crafters of fine things?! But instead
of getting warmed up to do the splits and straddle this divide, we thought we'd much rather bridge this gap by asking a few more questions.

Meet Adi, Frieda, Giselle, Heidi, Jane, Adeline (aka Jubi), Maike and Nadja or "fine ounce" for short. Goldsmiths by trade and passionate about it by heart. Come and join us on a journey through our workshops and also through our thoughts about what we do. Become part of our wider circle, share your experiences and ideas with us and other like-minded people.
