Peter Deckers
Maker, Curator, Editor, Educator, Founder of the HandShake Project
MTS (Vakschool Schoonhoven), MFA (Hons) (Elam), DipTeach
Peter studied art and jewellery making in both the Netherlands and New Zealand. He is active in his own art practice, making collections for national and international exhibitions, as well as in the wider jewellery art community instigating opportunities. His philosophy in arts education is that each individual (student) is unique, therefore has the potential for artistic expression. His passion for jewellery and the arts transfigures lessons into experiences.
Peter is both a contemporary artist and a craftsperson. Ideas that make distinctive connections with jewellery are the inspiration for his practice, which is highlighted through a series of engaging artworks. He exhibits with galleries throughout New Zealand and the world. His work, philosophy and ideas have been discussed in several publications. Next to being a tutor and maker, Peter has been an instigator as jewellery curator, writer, and artistic director of the HANDSHAKE PROJECT, a 2-year exhibition and mentor project for emerging jewellery artists, funded by Creative New Zealand.
