«wear, show, exchange and discuss» / Jewellery students of the Geneva University of Art and Design and the Lucerne School of Art and Design jointly presented selected experiments and finished works as part of the exhibition “Jewellery: Material Handicraft Art”. This led to animated technical discussions that not only transcended language barriers but also initiated an exchange of students between Geneva and Lucerne. With wit and charm, not to mention great professionalism, all eight XS Jewellery students in the 2nd BA conducted interested members of the public on guided tours of the historical exhibition.
