FORM

FORM are thrilled to be hosting international jewellers Helen Britton and David Bielander as part of our Creative Residency Program at Midland Atelier until January 2011. They have come all the way from the cultural hub of Munich to practice in our developing studios at the Atelier.  Helen and David will be working on a new body of work and contributing to the vision and plans for the development of the Foundry studios at the Atelier. 

Over the next two months or so we will be documenting Helen and David's residency here on the FORM blog, with regular photos, comments and recorded conversations from the studio. So stay tuned for updates!

Don't miss the opportunity for a silver smithing master class one of Australia's foremost silversmiths!

If you are interested in learning from a designer/maker with over 30 years professional practice, don't forget to put the 28th September to October 2nd in your diary for a master class with Hendrik Forster.

The class is called Back to Basics and by the end, not only will you have a finished functional table object, but a greater understanding of the basic metallurgical principles of working with silver.

Get in quick, there are only 10 places limited.

Contact enquiry.art@central.wa.edu.au for further course details or for an enrolment form.
