Chasing, hammering, melting, lost-wax casting. Gross weight: 11.32 g --- Malgorzata KREFTA, born 1982 Of Polish origin, Malgorzata Krefta moved to France at the age of 30 and discovered her passion for jewelry. She lives and works in Plougasnou. Trained at the Institut des Arts de la Bijouterie, in Aix-enProvence, her apprenticeship was largely self-taught. Her attraction to the organic aspect of contemporary jewelry led her to experiment with materials and explore ancestral techniques. For the past two years, she has been combining design, art and craft, drawing her creativity from Breton landscapes and nature. The Breton universe resonates with her Slavic and Baltic origins. She is a member of the Courants d'Art art collective in Morlaix. Inspired by the ephemeral, she imagines and creates ethical jewelry in 18K gold and sterling silver with an eco-responsible approach. Her approach to jewelry is unconventional, working a pre-established idea directly into the material, without sketching it out. She interprets organic shapes and textures, rocky landscapes and tiny forms of plant life, giving them a raw rendering. For the event, she offers a selection of assertive sculptural pieces made from recycled materials of verified provenance.
