About myself
My career path as an artisan began in Hamburg with the completion of the apprenticeship exam in the craft of goldsmithing.
I then studied jewellery design for three years at the London Guildhall University in London.
Following my two years of intensive occupation with the silversmith’s craft in the “Dolmschmiede zu Meldorf,” I passed the master craftman’s examination in Munich in 1997. There I worked for seven years as an independent gold- and silversmith in my own studio “Schmuck & Gerät.”
Since 2004 I have been living and working in Potsdam: for 12 years self-employed in “Gold & Silver” in the Gutenbergstraße and in the Brandenburger Straße since the opening of the “Goldschmiede im Hof” in spring 2017.
