AS WE LIKE IT

Training in design in Germany is multifaceted and unique, unparalleled in Europe for breadth of range. The Goldsmithing School with Watchmaking School in Pforzheim provides a three-year college course in design, jewellery-making and tableware, which, since the school was founded in 1988, has earned it a deserved reputation as being state-of-the-art in training future makers of jewellery and tableware. Here a highly creative pool of young, internationally oriented jewellery-designers is created, unleashing a potential which is bound to be much talked of in future! Apart from the mastery of traditional techniques, it is the uninhibited way in which prevailing styles are dealt with and new possibilities for design are explored that makes these works so remarkable.
