visiting Ted Noten and gallery

10/03/11
We arrived in the morning 6.20am at Amsterdam.
The weather in Amsterdam was very windy, cloudy and bits of raining today but still old buildings and streets looked beautiful. We had lot of walking today and I found while I was walking, that
many many people are riding bicycles and I realised how dangerous they are .....
Anyway,today we visited Ted Noten's studio bicycle at 1pm. I was very excited and tired at the same time
but was all right. (really) Unfortunatly we haven't seen Ted at the studio, and instead of him his work partners introduced us their design and jewellery studio. We talked about their works, how they work with new 3D printing, and he mentioned how contemporary jewellery became much more easier and faster in making, compare to traditional jewellery. It was interesting that they work is mostly produced by factory in China, because the fact that its cheaper, which reminded me of 'mass-produce'. It was very nice to see his studio and how they are working.

After that we visited a contemporary jewellery gallery at 3pm.
We saw works of young contemporary jeweller from Amsterdam and from international as well.
It inspired me alot in a way of working with different kinds of materials, collaborating with silver and as well as conceptual ideas of the works, which tempt me to work on my bench.
