In April 2017 I received an invitation from the LVR Landesmuseum in Bonn as part of the accompanying program for the exhibition "EVA'S BEAUTY CASE” supplementing an event evening with a goldsmith course.
The event took up the theme of the exhibition “Jewelry and Styling in the Mirror of the Ages” and offered museum visitors a fashion show, a themed tour of the exhibition, various lectures and, as a further supplement, my short goldsmith course.
The museum staff very professionally helped me to transport my course table for 6 people and to set up the extensive tools, materials and equipment. A big compliment to the team of the LVR LandesMuseum Bonn for the great support.
In any case, the event was a great success. There were numerous - mostly female - visitors and my course table was already full shortly after the start of the event.
The participants in my "compact course" were able to try out various working techniques such as sawing, filing or rolling and even making a simple ring if they wished.
At times, the rush at the course table was so great that I had some trouble answering all the questions from the many diligent course participants and interested parties appropriately.
I think everyone had a great time that evening and some participants even started their journey home proudly with a new piece of jewelry that they made themselves in just one evening.
In any case, the feedback after this event was more than encouraging. I will fondly remember this special evening at the LVR LandesMuseum Bonn, the fabulous exhibition atmosphere and the many friendly course participants.
