Installed in the foyer of Objectspace, Common Element is a fitting way to mark three decades of Workshop6, Aotearoa’s most enduring jewellery collective. Throughout this time, the studio has been a vital hub for metalworking and jewellery craft.
Workshop 6, & our resident jewellers, are part of a global community of makers. Their work is often featured in exhibition programmes both locally in Aotearoa New Zealand & Internationally.
The window gallery at Workshop 6 features a programme of exhibitions that include works by our resident jewellers, special guest artists and a curated selection of our finest student work. Find out what is currently on & what is coming up — so you can come along.
Common Element will include more than 500 rings threaded across the Courtyard Plinth on a display designed by Michael McCabe.
Ten jewellers from different countries have re-imagined the promise object. Voveo (means “I promise” in Latin). To connect these objects to everyday life, they are distributed throughout Melbourne City Library.
