Agenda 2012-2013

Information

Registration by email

To register for workshops, click the word 'registration' under the name of the workshop you want to follow. Here you will also find all the information you need.

Fill in the form. You will receive a confirmation email. Your registration is valid after the payment of the entire course fee. Upon receiving the fee I will send you another confirmation.

Number of participants

The workshops are always organised for small groups to be able to teach in a personalised manner. There is a maximum of 5 or 6 students. The workshops are taught in Dutch and English and will always take place if there are at least three registrations. For the workshops of guest lecturers, there need to be 4 registrations.

Included in the course fee

If you click the name of a workshop in the agenda or in the overview, you get a full description which includes the materials included in the course fee.

There are always tea and biscuits in the studio.

The studio opens 15 minutes before the start of the workshop.

Full basic training

A full basic training in jewelry techniques consists of three workshops:

• Technical skills (level 1)
• Soldering with silver wire (level 1)
• Soldering with plate and wire (level 2)

These three workshops offer everything you need to continue your practice at home. If you mastered these techniques well, you can subscribe for all level 2 workshops in the future.

If you follow these three workshops in the same year, you get a reduced fee: 468 € instead of 524 €. You must simultaneously register for the three workshops. The order of the first 2 workshops can be changed, soldering with sheet and wire has to be the last workshop.

You register for the three workshops separately and mention 'full basic training' each time. You transfer the fee of 468 € in one payment. Do you have any more questions, please feel free to send an email to lotte.de.mey@gmail.com

Literature

In the studio there's a small library with lots of information about all types of subjects that relate to jewelry: techniques, contempary designers, history, magazines, ... . Everything can be consulted during the workshops, but the books aren't loaned out.

Waiting list

If the workshop for which you want to register is full, you can still have yourself put on the waiting list. Please send an email to be added.

Canceling

If you registered for a workshop but can't come, let me know as soon as possible. The fee will be paid back until three weeks before the start of the workshop minus an administrative fee of 25 €. Cancelations after this period will only be refunded if you find someone to replace you or if someone from the waiting list fills your place.

You can cancel the workshops of an international guest lecturer untill 1 week before the end of subscriptions.

Catch-up class

There are no catch-up classes.

Workshops levels

There are workshops in two different levels. For level 1 workshops you don't need any prior knowledge or experience. For level 2 you should be familiar with the basic techniques: soldering, sawing en filing. Help will still be provided for applying these techniques though.

For the workshops of levels 2 and 3 you should bring your own basic materials (pliers, files, saws, tweezers, solder, ...).

Guest teachers will be invited regularly to teach workshops about their own specialty.

Private lessons

Private lessons are possible. The lesson will be attuned to the subject of your choice. The fee for private lessons is 50€ for one hour and 40€ per hour for multiple hours on one day. For more information send an email to: lotte.de.mey@gmail.com.

Workshops on demand

Workshops can be organised outside the regular schedule about a subject of your choice if you have at least four people who want to participate. Contact me if you'd like further information about this. These workshops can not be canceled once scheduled.

Workshops level 1

For the workshops of level 1, no advance knowledge is required, so both beginners and professionals are welcome. All these workshops are taught by Lotte De Mey in her studio in Antwerp. The exact dates, prices and location can be found in the agenda.
