Eunique arts & crafts
This month I participated in Eunique, my first fair abroad. Eunique is an arts and crafts fair in Germany. This year Belgium was guest country at the fair.
I had a lot of fun! It was great to finally meet some of the other designers of Design Flanders and also the Walloon designers. What the professional impact of the fair will be, that's too soon to tell. I made some interessting contacts with new shops and galleries in Germany and Luxembourg. But it usually takes half a year to see the impact of participating in a big fair like that.
Here's a look at my booth and one of my gold and onyx flower rings.
I made a selection for you of the favourite designs I saw. You will find more great designs on the artist's websites. Enjoy!
Porceline by Françoise Joris (Belgium), she won the Eunique WCC Award.
Beautiful textile in enchanting coulours by Margo Selby (London).
Jewelry by Nevin Arig(Belgium), one of my favourite jewerly designers. It was great to finally meet her. And what's more...she is interested in teaching a workshop in my studio!!!
Bowl by Henriette Tomasi (Germany). The structure was so delicate, really amazing!
Jewelry by Alison Macleod (Scotland). I especially liked her brooches with wood and little stones combined.
Some cute, I think rubber, vases by Christiane Pagel (Germany). She is a student at Pforzheim and has no website yet.
Impressive laced steel nacklaces by Ines Schwotzer (Germany).
And finally some more porceline by Thérèse Lebrun (Belgium).

En uiteraard, hoop ik van ganser harte dat het buitenlandse verhaal succesvol wordt!
Hopelijk komt er een vervolg aan je deelname en veel positieve feedback!
