"The group Unfolding is comprised by 10 BFA and MFA graduates from the Hochschule Trier in Idar-Oberstein, coming from 8 different countries to study gemstone and jewellery.

During our studies we had to constantly adapt, firstly to Idar-Oberstein after moving here, then by the circumstances the whole world was under during the pandemic and the lock-down. Like everyone else, we had to stay at home for a time, away from the workshops, finding new materials and ways to work. Last semester we had to be quick to adapt and move once again when our school burned down. Some had to redo all their graduation work, or study a semester longer. But we made it. We are here. Ready to pack again and go on tour to show our work to the world and prepared for the next chapter after this adventurous study.

Our works are as varied as we are, we are stepping out of the box. The jewellery we make is not necessarily what one expects when hearing jewellery design, there is even graduates who do not work making jewelry, but focus on body related art."
