FIRST SESSION : open to emerging and established studio jewelers, attending CK’s seminar for the first time
One of the most current issues for artists working in the field of contemporary jewelry, is the analysis of the effectiveness of their own work, to question themselves, trying to find their own way and to make their work unique. This full immersion 2-days seminar will let You focus on Your inner and deepest motivations.

ADVANCED SESSION : suggested to professionals who wish to go deeper re-writing their own script
For the last couple of years a group of artists and designers from Italy and abroad already joined Charon Kransen’s seminars focused on investigating their own evolution and professional maturation.
It seemed as everything was just started, a brain-storming that had to be put on balance with the following working experience, day by day. So what we can expect after another intense season? Here is the introduction by C.Kransen:
I do not deny that for a lot of people times are very hard and also for artists. It forces you to think ” what now ” and that very thought opens up so many possibilities, possibilities you never thought or had to think about before. So much is about re-writing your script, your dreams, your passion, your options, your talent, your message. Everybody can make money, inventing toilet paper or paperclips, but that is all about money, not about doing what you really want to do. And if you don’t know what you want to do, because you are so occupied what others want you to do, or expect you to do, you can never be free and your talent can never blossom.
Everybody has a specific story and history and many of these stories have limited us and we don’t even know. In our heads it is all very murky and often we have not developed the clarity as to why we do what we do, simply because we don’t know what the barriers are within us who keep us small. Maybe this is a time to re-visit some of those issues and go deeper and really understand as to why we have to make changes.
In the second seminar we will also critique the work of the participants, meaning, how do we implement what we learned into our work now.
Do we understand the barriers and what have we been able to change in our work, all in terms of what is it what we want to convey in our work. Convey as in ” what is it what we want to express “.
If we do not develop tools to improve the clarity of this question, how can we ever be clear in our work?
– what is the work really all about ?
– what is ( if there is ) the connection with the work and who you are ? can we understand and establish this connection?
The seminar will also include a section about learning to talk about your work. In previous seminars elsewhere I have noticed how hard it is for people to really talk about their own work and I think it is really important to learn how to do that much better. It is a good tool to develop in presenting your work.

Re-writing your own script
Uno dei temi più attuali per chi opera nell’ambito del gioiello contemporaneo di ricerca è quello di porsi il problema dell’efficacia del proprio lavoro, mettersi in discussione, cercare “un sé stesso” che renda unico il proprio lavoro.
Diversi artisti e designer hanno già preso parte ai seminari di Charon Kransen in Italia sperimentando come mettere a fuoco il proprio percorso e indagare la propria maturazione professionale. Per alcuni è stato un punto di partenza o un momento di riflessione, per concentrarsi sulla ricerca di un equilibrio da mettere in pratica, ognuno nella propria esperienza sul campo, giorno dopo giorno.
