HS6 MENTORS
Over the three years (including lockdown) each HANDSHAKE 6 artist developed work with research, experimentation, material and concept explorations, resulting in many ideas and models that need fine-tuning and testing.
This development is experimental and had the support of a personal mentor who at scheduled times was available for hard-needed dialogue, discussions, questions, and feedback:
Antonia Boyle with mentor Hanna Hedman
Aphra Cheesman with mentor Lisa Walker
Nina van Duijnhoven with mentor Manuel Vilhena
Jack Hadley with mentor Karl Fritsch
Fran Leitch with mentor Iris Eichenberg
Nikki Perry with mentor Attai Chen
Amelia Rothwell with mentor Mah Rana
Mia Straka with mentor Manon van Kouswijk
Simon Swale with mentor Gabi Schillig
Susan Videler with mentor Iris Eichenberg
Michelle Wilkinson with mentor Catherine Truman
Macarena Bernal with mentor Monika Brugger

LET’S BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING… by Michelle Wilkinson | Mar 2, 2020 | Handshake6, Michelle Wilkinson In the last few days I have felt an almost overwhelming desire to stand in the ocean. Not to swim, or float or splash, just to stand. Waist deep, not moving, focused on...
NUGGETS
Iris Eichenberg masterclass – Jan 2020 “It’s about the final outcome being not just jewellery.” The thing that struck me most about Iris, aside from her warmth and generosity, was her use of language. The way she uses words is poetic and insightful. She has the...
