This coming Friday “Steingaven” at Bærums verk will re-open and be renamed to Smykkeverket. I have been there today and the paint was still wet. But everything starts to look good for the opening, which is officially from 12.00 till 17.00.   Birgith Hestangen and Trine Lise Lund run the shop. Birgith has been my teacher during the advanced silversmith course from the “folkuniversitetet” so I take it as a big compliment that she asked me, as one of 5 designers, to have my pieces in her store. Funny enough, Linda (one of the other designers) was my teacher during the beginner’s course silversmith. So I am in good company I would say. ;) Since many people are working Friday on daytime I can imagine that it is not possible to come by but you should drop by if you can. I will be there as well to say hi and have a good time with the visitors and the other designers. If Friday is simply not possible then keep Smykkeverket in mind the coming months. It’s x-mass season before you know it and if you want something custom made by me or any of the other designers it will take time!!
