HS6 collaboration video work

 

WELCOME TO HANDSHAKE 6 (HS6), 2020 – 2021/22

The HS6 two-year programme offered emerging jewellery artists a unique opportunity to develop skills through masterclasses, mentoring, and work development involving experimentation and exhibiting. Iris Eichenberg (US) selected twelve talented artists and paired them with recommended mentors who provided regular feedback and support throughout the two-year program. In 2019, Iris Eichenberg came to Auckland and conducted a masterclass with HS6 artists, igniting various conceptual and design approaches and opportunities. Her public lecture at Objectspace in Auckland drew a full house of enthusiasts.

 

Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, each HS6 artist was able to continue their research, experimentation, and development online with the assistance of their assigned mentors. The first exhibition opportunity was pre-Covid and curated by Weasel Gallery in Hamilton (now rebranded as Laree Payne Gallery). During Covid, the HS6 artists showcased their work at various exhibitions, including “Signing-In” at Te Auaha, Wellington, and a large, curated exhibition called “CHAINreaction” at the Refinery as part of the first Nelson Jewellery Week.

 

Throughout the programme, the artists benefited from a series of lectures and workshops on professional ethics, fundraising, communication, and design. They also received valuable training on presenting and promoting their work online through the ON-E masterclass workshop led by Estella Saez (ES).

 

Despite the obstacles presented by COVID-19, the HS6 artists remained resilient, supporting each other and working together as a team. Their successful funding campaign and the production of a video and catalogue for the final exhibition MORPH at NorthArt in Auckland showcased their extraordinary qualities and demonstrated the power of effective teamwork. Overall, the HS6 program provided a valuable opportunity for emerging artists to develop their skill set and showcase their refined work to a wider audience.

Iris Eichenberg’s masterclass in 2020

HS6 focused primarily on the individual development of each mentee’s art practice, with feedback and assistance from their selected mentor. Their exploration package included research, experimentation, various design processes, and material explorations. The year kicked off with a JEWELcamp, covering expectations, obligations, and professional ethics.
Renowned artist and educator Renee Bevan conducted her influential PUSH-PULL workshop, providing a series of methods for exploring and expanding ideas and designs.

Following the JEWELcamp, a masterclass from Iris Eichenberg equipped HS6 artists with various toolsets of new approaches and opportunities.

WELCOME TO HANDSHAKE 6 (HS6), 2020 – 2021/22

The HS6 two-year programme package provided emerging jewellery artists with a unique opportunity to develop skills through masterclasses, mentoring and work development that entails experimentation and exhibiting. Iris Eichenberg (US) handpicked twelve talented artists and matched them with recommended mentors, who provided regular feedback and support throughout the two-year programme. Iris Eichenberg came in 2019 to Auckland and conducted a masterclass with HS6 artists that set off processes for various conceptual and design toolsets, approaches, and opportunities. Her public lecture at Objectspace, Auckland attracted a full house of enthusiasts.

Despite the challenges posed by Covid that stopped all in our tracks, each HS6 artist could continue online and extend their research, experimentation, and development, assisted by their assigned mentors who provided regular guidance. The first exhibition opportunity was pre-Covid and curated by Weasel Gallery, Hamilton (now rebranded as Laree Payne Gallery). The HS6 artists had during Covid the opportunity to showcase their work at various exhibitions, including “Signing-In” at Te Auaha, Wellington and a large, curated exhibition called “CHAINreaction,” at the Refinery as part of the first Nelson Jewellery Week.

Throughout the programme, the artists benefited from a series of lectures and workshops on professional ethics, fundraising, communication, and design. They also received valuable training on presenting and promoting work online, thanks to a masterclass workshop led by Estella Saez (ES).

Despite the obstacles presented by Covid, the HS6 artists remained resilient, supporting each other and working together as a team. Their successful funding campaign and video and catalogue production for the final exhibition MORPH at NorthArt, Auckland showcased their extraordinary qualities and demonstrated the power of effective teamwork. Overall, the HS6 programme provided a valuable opportunity for emerging artists to develop their skillset and showcase their refined work to a wider audience.

Iris Eichenberg’s masterclass in 2020

HS6 focused primarily on the individual development of each mentee’s art practice with the feedback and assistance of their selected mentor. Their exploration package contained research, experimentation, as well as various design processes and material explorations. The year started with a JEWELcamp, which was about expectations, obligations, and professional ethics.

Renee Bevan (artist and educator) conducted her famous PUSH-PULL workshop aiming in providing a series of methods for exploring and widening ideas and designs.

JEWELcamp is followed by a masterclass from Iris Eichenberg. The HS6 artists were set off with various toolsets of new approaches and opportunities.
