I have recently started learning how to make jewellery with German Gold and Silver Smith Birgit Holdinghausen. She sold her pieces in the Shop I work at and we would always talk for hours when she popped in to say hello. A couple of months ago she asked me if I would be interested in learning her skills. I was so excited and agreed immediately and I was her first official student! She makes wonderful abstract pieces all inspired by spirit and organic shapes. I have spent hours with her learning the tricks of the trade and have crafted my own pieces. When I get back from overseas I will continue to have regular sessions with Birgit. She is a wild spirit who apparently caused a big stir amoung the staff at RMIT university during her degree of Gold and Silver Smithing. God love her she is such a typical German! Check out her stuff online or at studio Ingot.
