Silke Spitzer

Silke Spitzer

was trained as a traditional jeweler in a three years education in Germany.

At the University of applied Arts and Design in Pforzheim, Germany, and the Rhode Island School of Design, USA, she got involved in the jewelry department and finished her studies as a master of arts / jewelry designer in 2002. Silke is working as an independent artist ever since. 

Non-precious metal jewelry made from material that is available to everybody, mainly found in her own neighborhood is her main focus.

2011 she was co-founder and teacher of a small jewelry school in Berlin focusing on teaching  the traditional, challenging, and innovative techniques of jewelery making  to the public. 

Silke's life and work is balanced between a simple, beautiful home on the countryside outside of Berlin and a modern and vivid studio life in the center of Berlin.
