 Art:Craft:Materials "I think of myself as both artist and craftsman. The artist seeks inspiration to unlock the hidden beauty in people, places and materials; the craftsman toils to transform ideas into a finished object. "I work with materials that emerge from nature. A flawless diamond is clearly beautiful - but the same beauty can be found in every stone, regardless of its value, once its character is revealed. James Joyce said it's the imperfection in people that we fall in love with. I look for stones that demonstrate strength and individuality, that dramatise the influence of their history and environment. I find an interconnected beauty between the internal structures of stones, the passions of remarkable people, and the architectonic relationship between the jewel and the body." Artist's statement, by Peter Schmid Tradition:Peter Schmid:Celebration Peter Schmid first trained as a goldsmith and jewellery designer at the Berufskolleg für Formgebung, Schmuck und Gerät in Schwäbisch Gmünd. Inspired by the work of Michael Zobel, he came to Konstanz in 1995 to apprentice in his studio. He never left. After working with Michael for 10 years, Peter took over leadership of the Atelier in 2005. Atelier Zobel has continued to win numerous awards with Peter as designer, including the Couture Design Award, presented in Las Vegas, USA. Peter's work has also been published extensively: most recently, in Joanna Hardy's Collect Contemporary Jewelry (2012). |
