This year I will participate at Meesterlijk. This will take place from the 24th of September till the 2nd of October 2011 at the RAI Amsterdam.
I will be showing my new collection 'Venus' and besides that several new designs ( who are yet to come)!
More information: www.meesterlijk.nu
Last weekend, from the 10th till the 12th of June, I joined the exhibition of FashionClash Maastricht for the second time. But this was the first time, my new jewellery serie 'Venus' was compleet, so…a premiere!
The serie Venus exists of a collier, 10 rings and an earring, every piece totally made out of pearls. Soon the formal pictures will be shown on my website.
We where ask by the organization of MODEL CITIZENS NEW YORK to take part with our exhibition 'How it's made & why it's so fucking expensive'. This will take place at the Chelsea Art Museum during ICFF, from the 13th till the 15th of May.
The selection of designs we made are from all kinds of different art disciplines. But what they share is an intensive investigation process. This results in a limited production line where handcraft is the standart.
And this exhibition will also be the premiere of my new serie of jewellery!
So everyone is invited!
(check out the the flyer of the organization!)

So give us a visit!

‘Sapere Aude’ ( E. Kant, philosopher): ; Have the courage to use your own reason.’
We observed and criticized… and now what?
The time of the Intuition has come.
There is a sense for pureness.
Designers take themselves as a starting point and dare to look from their own eyes again
The effect is new shapes and a pure form of thinking.
‘ENLIGHTENMENT’ is an intuitive exhibition and shop of designers that takes the lead in this new era.
Because a new era has started.
What a relieve.
Together with Sander van der Poort I am curating the exhibition 'Enlightenment'.
This exhibition presents (inter)national young designers who dare to take the lead today!
It will take place from the 30th of October till the 5th of December at Meent 133, Rotterdam.
See you there!
At Heijplaat ( Rotterdam), Joep van Lieshout has a large exposition of his work.
We went there to discover the in's and out's.
On te Dutch island Terschelling, every year there is a festival called Oerol. This is what you do: you make a 2 hour boottrip to the island ( don't throw up) , then take the bike for like 30 km and pic the wrong campsite. For the next days the only thing you do is bicycle for 250 km, eat a lot of fish&chips, take a look at some theatre, drink beer, talk with everything that can talk and dance a bit while you are doing that.
I love it!
I'm very glad with the two new sale points for my nipplebrooches! Since last week, they are for sale at Martgreet Olsthoorn & SHPPR. Both stores are at Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
