KIRA FRITSCH
CONTEMPORARY STONE SETTING
16th/17th/18th of May 2027
“How do I integrate stones or small objects into my jewelry?”
About the workshop
During tree days ,we are playfully dealing with the topic “How do I integrate stones or small objects into my jewelry?” We are looking for new ways and possibilities with the objects that need to be integrated, placed and fixed. It's a game with a wealth of possibilities! We indulge in opulence or reduce it to the maximum: combine, explore, turn it upside down, discover and design.
At the end of the workshop we have a piece of jewelry and a small treasure trove of samples.

The teacher
KIRA FRITSCH
Kira Fritsch was born in Stuttgart and lives and works in Munich. She trained as a goldsmith from 1983 to 1987 and has been running her own workshop in Munich since 2001. From 2008 to 2010, she studied at the Academy of Design in Munich.
In her jewelry practice, Fritsch explores the human desire to adorn the body and the personal and social meanings attached to jewelry. Her work questions traditional ideas of identity, belonging, protection and ornamentation. By combining familiar forms and associations with unexpected materials and subtle aesthetic contrasts, she challenges conventional ways of looking at jewelry and explores the boundaries between function, ornament and art.
