A course by Fernanda Spilborghs
Fernanda Spilborghs is a renowned artist and designer. With an artisanal approach and using different materials, especially silver, Fernanda has taken her work to renowned exhibitions, such as the 1st Bienal Brasileña de Diseño and the exposición Brasil faz Design in São Paulo and Milan.
Passionate about manual crafts, Fernanda is willing to be carried away by the mathematics of the heart, ancestral knowledge and experimentation in her creative process. I believe in the importance of constantly exploring new foundry techniques, unusual designs and unusual materials in the field of contemporary jewelry.
Fernanda finds in the joyería a form of freedom in giving the same relevance to different materials, allowing her to diversify the narratives of her collections. For her, the jewels are living objects that acquire new interpretations in those they carry. His passion for sharing his knowledge and experience has led him to teach and transmit his love for handcrafted jewelry to others who are passionate about the craft.
