SOLDERING & VOLUME
23rd - 24th of NOVEMBER 2025
Dive into a universe where metal wire becomes a source of volume and poetry. In this workshop, you will learn how to draw in space, solder metal junctions, and build three-dimensional forms.
About the workshop
This two-day workshop offers you:
​
-
An immersion in soldering, to understand how to join metal wires and generate volumes through different types of junctions
-
A conceptual approach to translate your ideas into abstract or figurative structures anchored in space
-
Guidance for all levels, combining both technical and creative perspectives
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced maker, this workshop provides a playground to experiment, create, and bring your artistic visions to life through wire
The teacher
NELLY VAN OOST
​
Since 2018, I have been the coordinator of Workshops Crafts Brussels, where I curate and accompany workshops led by international artists. This role allows me to foster encounters, share knowledge, and create bridges between diverse creative practices. My commitment is to build spaces where experimentation and exchange can unfold freely.
Since 2023, I have also been teaching jewellery at the Academy of Arts in Woluwe st Pierre, where I guide students through both the technical and conceptual aspects of the discipline. Teaching, for me, is not only about transmitting skills, but also about encouraging reflection, curiosity, and the confidence to explore personal artistic paths.
Alongside this pedagogical work, I pursue my own artistic research. My creative process is an intertwining of aspirations, inspirations, and pathways. I am drawn to the idea of shaping the immaterial — giving form to inner thoughts and translating them into tangible objects. This quest often leads me to reflect on identity and on the invisible connections that surround us in our daily lives.
