Alchimia Contemporary Jewellery School (Florence, Italy) - Guest Institution

“There cannot be any true innovation without the knowledge of what came before. Tradition and innovation, like mind and hand, need to move together”.

Alchimia Contemporary Jewellery School was founded in 1998 in Florence; the birthplace of the Renaissance, a city known for its legacy of artisans and many cultural associations, a pulsating source of the arts and crafts, as well as history and intellectual acheivments. This context contributed in a bilateral enriching exchange and overflowing inspiration that shaped the “Alchimia Method” and defined it as an intellectual and physical eclecticism, throughout the years.

Alchimia’s focus draws on the revision and adoption of traditional techniques and knowledges, and carefully selected materials combined with experimental, and ground-breaking approaches to Art and design, leading students in how to transform ideas and to research paths in Art jewellery, design objects,… to be able to access an individual working method, expressed in a unique language that communicates universally to generations.

Alchimia is a nexus where all of these influences converge, where the air is infused with the Art and Beauty that surrounds the school, where different nationalities and cultures meet, and a beating heart where curiosity and the desire for knowledge make the personal and artistic development of each student not only possible, but also natural.
