Day 11


Goldsmith's house
Herman Hunger's pieces were brilliant!
I remember having such a hard time trying to do my cloissone last year, being so fiddly and taking up so much time and didn't quite turn out perfectly. But his series of works were really amazing. They are precise, finish of the work is beautiful and everything was just perfect. The lines are so fine and it must have took him ages to finish them!! The artist even set the stones on same piece of metal as he's done his cloisonne on. We weren't able to touch the pieces but the backing of the brooches seemed well finished also.

Museum visit
I quite enjoyed the museum.
The Japanese exhibition of woodblock printing was very interesting to see. I personally felt as if I was looking at a westernized Japanese cartoon. The history of Japanese art being introduced into the Western society was fascinating.
The woodblock printing also remained as a convenient technique to reproduce written texts.
