The craftsman in residence - Wiebke Meurer, designer of jewelry and objects in Genolier (VD)

From Tuesday 27 October to Friday 6 November, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Wiebke Meurer studied jewelery and object design at the Berufskolleg in Pforzheim, the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and the studio of Simone ten Hompel in London. In 2002, she obtained her master’s degree in fine arts at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. She has lived and worked in Switzerland since 2001. Her silver creations have been exhibited in contemporary art galleries for over 10 years.

“My precious, often pseudo-functional objects make me reflect on their traditional use associated with a chapter of our cultural history. »

Wiebke Meurer will present his singular and sculptural work. His creations question the traditional use of objects by modifying their scales, their functions and their original materials. She will demonstrate the various techniques she uses to create her precious and often pseudo-functional objects, for example electroforming (electroplating) which allows the creation of fine objects by the technology of electroplating.
