A rich repertoire of handcrafted everyday objects illustrates current worldwide approaches that have emerged over the last two years: from coffee and tea pots, via large and small bowls, to candlesticks, vases, salt and pepper casters, cutlery or small table accessories.

A top-class jury: Dr. Barbara Grotkamp-Schepers, Klingenmuseum Solingen (DE); David Huycke, metal artist and professor in Hasselt (BE); Rosemarie Jäger, Galerie im Kelterhaus Hochheim (DE) selects the best of the best.

[Association for Goldsmiths Art] and the Deutsches Goldschmiedehaus Hanau [German Goldsmiths House], and is one of the most significant events of its kind world-wide.Text in English & German.
