Several students from the Institut de bijouterie de Saumur will also be exhibiting their work.
As part of the celebrations to mark the 45th anniversary of the Institut de Bijouterie de Saumur, the school has asked Jean-Yves Le Mignot to organise an exhibition of contemporary jewellery. In July 2024, the school presented an exhibition entitled ‘Bijoux de femmes, de femme à femme’ in the abbey church of the Château de Saumur.
To enhance the exhibition, apprentices and students from the Institute were involved in this artistic adventure. These young talents had the opportunity to work on the same theme as the established artists during a 4-day workshop led by two of the school's instructors: Einav BENZANO and Rémy BONNEAU, creating a dialogue between past and present, between tradition and modernity.
Exhibition curator: Jean-Yves Le Mignot
Opening on 17 May at 11 a.m.
