Temaet er indretning, du inviteres derfor indenfor på studios og værksteder hvor det vi indretter os i og med, tager form. Du introduceres til glaspuster Alexander Kirkeby, som få år efter han har afsluttet sin uddannelse er etableret på den internationale designscene, til den ligeledes nyuddannede keramiker Heidi Lillevang, som eksperimenterer med stuk og til stukkatør Peter Funder, som har 35 års erfaring i branchen. Arkitekt Desislava Lynge udtaler i artiklen ”I fællesskab”, ”det kan være magisk både at bo minimalistisk og kaotisk eller med bøger og kunst fra gulv til loft, bare indretningen spejler beboerne” hun tilføjer, at hvis hun skal pege på noget, så er lysindfaldet det vigtigste bortset fra livet i husene. Lys er også omdrejningspunktet for belysningsdesigner Fie Paarup, som har stor succes med sine unikke gardiner syet af vintage- og overskudstekstiler. Med hende har jeg talt om både gardiner og livet i huset. Tekstil er også det naturlige materialevalg for Sia Hurtigkarl og Tanja Kirst, på hver sin måde, fra hvert sit udgangspunkt og i helt forskellige udtryk, er de begge optaget af det vævede tæppe som medie. Bookazinet har, samtidig med at det handler om rum, møbler, gardiner og tæpper, stuk, keramik og glas, insisteret på et eget parallelt spor som handler om hvordan vi dannes, omgås og taler om os selv og hinanden og det vi beskæftiger os med.Du inviteres med til Öland til en helt særlig skole. Skolen blev etableret af Carl Malmsten og dennes hustru Siv Malmsten i 1957. På skolen undervises nu, som den gang i keramik, tekstil, træ og havekunst, og for at blive ved Malmsten, har jeg haft inspirerende samtaler med professor Andreas Nobel. Han er er møbelsnedker og formgiver og underviser på Sveriges fineste møbelsnedkeruddannelse på Malmstens i Stockholm (en campus under Linköping Universitet). Andreas Nobel argumenterer: ”Man undervurderer et hvert fagområde, når man tilgår alle felter på samme måde frem for at anerkende, at det kræver mange års træning at kunne sit fag.For eksempel kræver det en livslang gerning at opnå et højt niveau i filosofi.På samme måde kræves års arbejde for at opnå et højt niveau i håndværk, design eller kunst”.Han stiller sig tvivlende overfor om man i samme liv kan opnå så tilstrækkeligt højt niveau på begge felter, til at filosoffen kan tilføre noget til kunst og design og vice versa. Ikke desto mindre ser man mange akademiske faggrupper udtale sig med vægt om både kunst, design og håndværk.”Hører og læser man den slags skal man vide at det ikke er det faglige forfatteren forholder sig til men filosofien”, argumenterer han. For filosoffen er kunsten et filosofisk problem, for kunstneren er kunsten en mulighed. Designeren og håndværkeren søger løsninger”. Foruden ovenstående mødes du i bookazinet blandt andre af keramiker Louise Gaarmann, guldsmed Sarah Hurtigkarl og arkitekt Erik Brandt Dam

This HÅNDVÆRK bookazine no. 9 has interiors as its theme and invites you inside the studios and workshops where the things in our homes take shape. In the bookazine, you will meet glassblower Alexander Kirkeby, who graduated just a few years ago and has already made a name for himself in the international design scene. You will also meet another recent graduate, ceramic artist Heidi Lillevang, who experiments with stucco, and stucco worker Peter Funder, who has 35 years’ experience. In the bookazine, in the article titled ‘In collaboration’, architect Desislava Lynge says, ‘An interior can be magical, whether it is minimalist or chaotic or has books and art from floor to ceiling, as long as it reflects the people who live there.’ She adds that if she were to point to a single key feature, apart from the life inside a house, it would be the influx of daylight. Light is also a key topic for lighting designer Fie Paarup, who has launched a successful production of unique curtains sewn from vintage and surplus textiles. I met with her to talk about curtains and the life inside a house. Textile is also the natural choice of material for Sia Hurtigkarl and Tanja Kirst. Each in their way, from their respective points of view and with very different expressions, they both work with woven rugs as their medium. In addition to rooms, furniture, curtains and rugs, stucco, ceramics and glass, the upcoming issue of the bookazine maintains a parallel focus on how we become who we are and how we engage with and speak about ourselves, each other and our practices. You are invited to join me on a trip to Öland to visit a very special school founded in 1957 by Carl Malmsten and his wife, Siv Malmsten. Now, as then, the school teaches ceramics, textile, wood and landscape architecture. I had some inspiring talks with Professor Andreas Nobel about Carl Malmsten. Nobel, who is a cabinetmaker and designer, teaches in Sweden’s finest cabinetmaker’s programme at Malmstens in Stockholm (a campus at Linköping University). Andreas Nobel says, ‘You will underestimate any subject area if you approach every field in the same way and if you fail to acknowledge that mastering a given field takes many years of training. For example, it takes lifelong practice to attain a high-level mastery of philosophy. Similarly, it takes many years of practice to attain a high-level mastery of craft, design or art.’He questions whether it is possible in a single lifetime to attain a sufficient grasp of both areas to have philosophy inform art or design, and vice versa. And yet, it is common to see scholars from a wide range of academic fields speak with great authority about art, design and crafts.‘When you hear and read these comments, you need to bear in mind that what they are addressing is not the subject matter itself but the philosophy of it,’ he argues. ‘To a philosopher, art is a philosophical problem; to the artist, art is a possibility, while designers and craftspersons look for solutions.’ In the bookazine, you will also meet ceramicist Louise Gaarmann, golds applied artist Sarah Hurtigkarl and architect Erik Brandt Dam, among others.

This volume presents detailed results on the manufacturing technology and elemental composition of some 136 objects in the collections of six European museums, with discussion of the findings in historical and cultural contexts. The starting point was the remarkable jewelry buried with a woman and a child who lived about 1650-1550 BC at Qurna, the West Bank of ancient Thebes in Upper Egypt. The questions generated from this find led to investigation of assemblages and individual artifacts from earlier periods in varied social contexts, from the rural environment of Qau and Badari, to sites connected with urban or royal centers, such as Riqqa, Haraga and Lahun.

The Magic and Science of Jewels and Stones was first published in 1922. In this timeless masterpiece, Isodore Kozminsky, a renowned author in the field of Jewish occultism and esotericism, reveals the hidden secrets of gemstones, semi-precious stones, and ordinary stones. Kozminsky skillfully navigates the philosophy of sympathy and antipathy found throughout nature, unveiling the interconnectedness of stone to stone, and person to person. As a member of a family of jewelers and associated with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Kozminsky was perfectly positioned to synthesize scientific data, ancient folklore, and the occult and beneficial use of stones.Unlike more modern stone guides that limit themselves to the psychic and physical aspects of lithotherapy, this book provides a much more comprehensive and holistic understanding of the subject. Special emphasis is placed on the connection between the various gemstones and semi-precious stones discussed and the signs of the zodiac. The author offers a profound philosophy of lucky stones, planetary gems, and the mystical "stones of power," which form an integral part of talismanic magic. Unique to this book are the inclusion of magical sigils and invocation formulas, providing readers with the means to establish contact with the stone spirits, presented as an embedded grimoire.The Magic and Science of Jewels and Stones was previously available only as a rare antiquarian find. VAMzzz Publishing presents a new, carefully revised edition, complete with additional information about the author.

Contemporary gold- and silversmithing encompasses a vast range. Increasingly, a daring, (self-)critical, and inventive scene is edging its way to the fore, focusing on challenging the innovative expansion of classical forms and motifs of jewelry, vessels, and hollowware. Purpose, function, and our normative understanding of beauty are placed on a new footing through experiments with materials and performative stagings. Socially relevant considerations and artistic references inform the objects' designs and are an invitation to an entertaining yet recondite "tour de plaisir" featuring 120 works by 29 artists-proof once more of gold- and silversmithing's controversial creative potential today.

The discovery of the Oberstein company Jakob Bengel as a prominent jewelry manufacturer has liberated Oberstein from the stigma of being the "underdog" of the German jewelry industry. Wilhelm Lindemann and Christianne Weber-Stöber document in this current study its independent contribution to the evolution of early German jewelry design between 1910 and 1933 using Bengel as an example. Highlights from the collection of Drs. Margarete and Heribert Händel, hitherto unpublished pieces of Bengel jewelry, and contemporary designs attest to the exceptional level of production as part of the reformist ideas of the Deutscher Werkbund, the German Schools of Art and Crafts, and the Bauhaus. With this book, the industrial monument Historische Uhrketten und Bijouteriewarenfabrik Jakob Bengel, Idar-Oberstein together with the Jakob Bengal Foundation marks the factory's 150-year anniversary.

Since the late 1980s, American jeweler Keith Lewis (*1959) has been consistently tackling issues of Queer identity and politics in his figurative and narrative jewelry, including a groundbreaking series of memorial jewels addressing the impact of the AIDS crisis on himself and his community. Often witty, sometimes shocking, frequently erotic, and surprisingly moving, his jewelry is an act of remembering and witnessing, and a joyous assertion that desire and pleasure, wonderful ends in themselves, can collapse historical distance and connect the past and the present. Written by Damian Skinner and featuring four of Lewis's artist talks documenting key preoccupations and series, this monograph surveys a bold, provocative, and ambitious body of work that deserves to be widely known.

""Silver Treasures from the Land of Sheba documents a disappearing artistic and cultural tradition with over three hundred photographs showing individual pieces, rare images of women wearing their jewelry with traditional dress, and the various regions in Yemen where the author did her field research. Ransom's descriptions of the people she met and befriended, and her exploration of the significance of a woman's handmade jewelry with its attributes of power, protection, beauty, and personal identity, will appeal to ethnic jewelry fans, ethnographers, jewelry designers, and art historians. Amulet cases, hair ornaments, bridal headdresses, earrings, necklaces, ankle and wrist bracelets are all beautifully photographed in intricate detail, interspersed with the author's own photographs of the women who shared their stories and their hospitality with her. A chapter on the history of silversmithing in Yemen tells the surprising story of the famed Jewish Yemeni silversmiths, many of whom left Yemen in the late 1940s. This is the first in-depth study of Yemeni silver, uniquely illustrated with photographs of a world that is transforming before our eyes, and animated with the portraits of a precious legacy.""--

An illustrated anthology of one of the greatest independent jewelers of the 21st century

Part of a well-known book series on contemporary art jewellery by jeweller Nicolás Estrada, this completely new edition of New Earrings (not a single piece from the 2013 edition has been included) highlights the work of some of the most exciting and innovative international jewellery artists working today. The more than 550 pieces featured by 198 jewellers from all over the world break away from the traditional notion of jewellery making to stake out new terrain. They represent a variety of creative approaches and methods, from more traditional to strikingly avant-garde creations, that speak and inspire, embodying all the ingenuity, flair, eloquence, sensitivity and individual freedom of their diverse creators. Some of the earrings are made using unconventional materials like porcelain or plastic while others use classical materials such as gold in ways that provocatively go against the grain of convention, reflecting the artists' personal identity and tastes or containing a subtle commentary on contemporary concerns. Aimed at students, professionals and jewellery lovers, this second edition of the book published in 2013, has a new layout and concludes with a brief description of the careers and webpages of the featured artists.

Eine imaginäre Reise in den OrientSchon alleine bei dem Gedanken an Schmuck aus dem Orient fühlt man sich versetzt in ein Märchen aus Tausendundeiner Nacht. Orientalischer Schmuck steht für Schönheit, Reichtum, aber auch Macht und hat in traditionellen Gesellschaften auch eine magische Funktion. Er wurde getragen, um vor Unheil zu schützen, aber auch um Segen zu erlangen.Die Silberschmiede verwendeten so unterschiedliche Materialien wie Gold, Silber (auch in Form von Münzen), Korallen, edle Steine, Perlen, Bernstein und Fayence. Doch der klassische Schmuck besteht in erster Linie aus Silber. Frauen erhielten diesen als Geschenk zur Hochzeit und häufig als Mitgift von der eigenen Familie. Diese Schmuckstücke waren das persönliche Eigentum der Trägerin und damit auch soziale Absicherung. Sie wurden von Generation zu Generation weitergegeben. Wenn ein Stück sehr abgetragen war, wurde das Silber eingeschmolzen und in derselben Art neu geschaffen. So konnten sich in diesem Schmuck die Erinnerungen von Jahrtausenden erhalten.Der Begleitband zur gleichnamigen Sonderausstellung des Knauf-Museums Iphofen zeigt aus der großartigen Sammlung von Peter Hösli orientalischen Schmuck aus dem Jemen, dem Oman, aus Saudi-Arabien sowie aus der Levante.Englische Ausgabe

"The Wonderful World of Lydia Courteille Explored in New Book."  -   JCK Online "...The colorful, eye-catching gemstones splashed across each page are a feast for the eyes, and in a poignant display, Courteille's playful pieces are depicted alongside illustrations of the women who inspired them."  -   Only Natural Diamonds "Sometimes provocative, sometimes sensual and always full of passion, Courteille puts jewels in the spotlight that beguile, enchant, surprise and are definitely real eye-catchers."  -  Lovely Books For more than 40 years, Parisian jeweller Lydia Courteille has been confounding the Place Vendome jewellery houses with her bold and brazen designs. Her unique and avant-garde style is legendary. Her collections spark the senses. In this impassioned new biography, Juliet Weir-de la Rochefoucauld takes us on a voyage around the world, sharing the stunning locations and famous women from whom Courteille draws inspiration. In the disposable world of 21st century consumerism, amidst the monotony of marketing algorithms and ceaseless production lines, Lydia Courteille has forged her own creative path, refusing to let the individuality of her work slip from her fingers. Her jewels crystalise memories, honour the dead, make powerful social statements, poke fun at modern absurdities, and transport us to the other side of the planet. Guided by an acclaimed author and jewellery expert, this colourful monograph renders her odysseys of creation and discovery in stunning visual detail.

The result of forty years of study, this book offers an overview of the most common find, after coins, on sites in Roman Britain, the brooch. Used basically to hold outer clothing together, it was always on view and was usually decorative.
