The Gashouder is our location since 2008.  At the right you see our new campaign for this May, designed by Linda Zoon, she used a ring made by Aletta Teunen.  Aletta was inspired by the typical Dutch facades and canal houses, as seen in cities such as Amsterdam and Utrecht.                                                                                                                                      We are super happy with this sparkling campaign image.

Artist-designers from all corners of the globe, including highly talented emerging designers from internationally acclaimed academies, will be exhibiting exciting work not found anywhere else.

Lisa Walker – jewellery star

Liesbeth den Besten February 2023

To celebrate Jewellery’s 20th anniversary, a festive central exhibition will feature the work of Lisa Walker (1967). Her jewellery is odd, humorous and has an enormous freedom. The New Zealand artist has been active for more than 20 years. In her jewellery she uses remnants of our consumers’ society, and waste from her own workshop or that of others.

Connecting with nature

Saskia van Es – April 2023

Spanish Bego Fuente was an English teacher. Until she decided to get away from the digital world and reconnect with her creative side. She is now a professional jewellery maker. And according to plan, she makes all her unique pieces herself, by hand. For her, the strenght lies in pieces that are both beautiful and rough or uneven. 

As light as a flutter of butterflies

Saskia van Es – April 2023

Shapes from everyday life and fragments of memories become elegant jewellery with Mayumi Okuyama. A design starts with a flutter of butterflies, for example. The shape of butterflies silhouetted against the sky has such a lightness that your eyes can hardly comprehend it. At Mayumi Okuyama’s workbench, this phenomenon is translated into feathery lines of brass and steel wire. The lines dance around your neck, on your ear or in your hair. Last year she won an important prize in Brazil with it.

Glass in motion

Saskia van Es – March 2023

Chances are, when you hear the term ‘kinetic jewellery’, you think of Michael Berger’s work. The goldsmith creates jewellery with parts that swing around each other. A ring with two boat-shaped pieces a pearl, for example, which are stacked differently with every movement you make.

Reuse in grand fashion

SASKIA VAN ES – March 2023

Reuse in grand fashion

They are accessories rather than jewellery in the classic sense. For quite a few years, Michelle Lowe-Holder seems to have one rule of the game: work with materials that are already there. Nitrous oxide canisters picked up off the street, for example. Or very thin birch wood left over from industry

Nature under a bell jar

Saskia van Es – march 2023

Itir Saran, is an architect and teacher in Turkey and New York. And the designer behind Stella Tundra. She uses found materials from nature as the basis for her pendants. In the kiln the material burns away and is replaced by ceramics.

Textiles and jewellery: literally a strong combination

By: Saskia Kolff- van Es

The combination of textile and jewellery remains a very strong one. Because textile is so colourful? Because it moulds to the body? Because it is comfortable and protects you? Because it is slow art, made by endlessly repeating certain actions? This year, we can indulge ourselves. At least four artists use the primal material in their jewellery.

NOW ON SHOW AT CODA MUSEUM

SHARED STORIES

Now showing in CODA

Jewellery by Chequita Nahar and her selection from the CODA collection in combination with work by Wendy Owusu and Iriée Zamblé
19 March ­– 25 June 2023 | CODA Museum Apeldoorn | www.coda-apeldoorn.nl/nahar

For this exhibition CODA invited Chequita Nahar to make a selection from CODA’s jewellery collection. Shared stories combines her selection from the CODA collection with her own work and the work of visual artists Iriée Zamblé and Wendy Owusu. The choice of Chequita Nahar can be seen from 19 March to 25 June 2023 and forms part of the exhibition series De keuze van (The choice of).

As an artist and teacher Chequita Nahar acts as a link between different generations. For example, Shared stories combines work by her former teacher Onno Boekhoudt with work by other artists who have inspired her. The exhibition also displays work by artists on whom she has had an influence. Nahar invited Iriée Zamblé and Wendy Owusu to form part of this exhibition because of the way in which they interpret their own backgrounds and culture in their work. Nahar is also curious about stories from and within the CODA collection: why were pieces purchased from some jewellery artists and not from others? Where are there omissions in the collection and where is the collection complete? This exhibition and Nahar’s selection provide various perspectives on the collection. Finding connection among differences and similarities is at its core.

TESTIMONIALS

Testimonial by Liisa Hashimoto, Japan

I have been exhibiting at Sieraad for five years now, sharing the stand with Iris from Insync Design. Every year I enjoy meeting all the artists from different countries, and meeting every year is like a reunion. In Japan, unfortunately, contemporary jewelry is not known too much to the public, so it is a good opportunity for me to see other artists’ works and exchanging information about the jewelry. As to the customers coming to Sieraad, I find many of them coming back every year. And usually they will kindly come back to our stand and enjoy looking at our new works of art. So, I try to show my works in a different way with different themes every year, always discussing with Iris how to display our stand. By exhibiting at Sieraad, I have been learning and thinking about the way of showing and selling my pieces, combining one-off pieces and production lines. It is not easy, but it is a good experience for me. Exhibiting at Sieraad is always my pleasure every year.

Testimonial by Rachel Butlin, GB

First of all I would just like to say a huge thank you to Astrid and Maarten for an amazing show and time at Sieraad this year! Sieraad is a show I’ve always dreamed about being at and I was overjoyed this year to be accepted to exhibit. From day one the communication and organisation has been above and beyond and definitely made the lead up to the show alot easier as a first time overseas exhibitor. The show exceeded my expectations in every way from set up to visual appearance, visitors and response to my work. There was a wonderful mix of visitors from affluent public to international galleries, bringing a wealth of interest to our stand. I feel that the stand appearance and layout gives great visual variety and allows each participant to create their own stamp on the show by choosing colour and layout, which definitely sets this apart from other shows I’ve done. It was such a great pleasure to meet, network and socialise with so many other participants, creating relationships im sure will last on into the future. I was overjoyed with the response of my work at the show and it was lovely to receive such lovely comments and feedback from the Dutch public. Sieraad isn’t just a show, its a wonderful experience full amazing exhibitors, warm smiles, stunning jewellery and great visitors. Once again I would like to thank you all for such a great experience and i look forward to hopefully showing again with you soon.
