Material becomes object
Follow a silver object through tools, finishing and hallmarks. Ask how the design phase is explained and whether documentation is available.
Factory silver as a series
The Van Kempen & Begeer collection makes repetition and design development visible. Compare two pieces in terms of form, function and production method.
The workshop lets you try it yourself
In the Zilverwerkplaats you can make a small object. Follow the safety instructions and compare the handwork and the result with a professional object.
