SABLON AREA

BeCraft supports, promotes, trains and informs artists from the Federation Wallonie-Bruxelles. It's an ongoing exchange between Belgium and the rest of the world. It's a place in a historic landmark: Les Anciens Abattoirs de Mons. It's also a place for exhibitions, conferences, workshops and, above all, meetings. Representing the applied arts in French-speaking Belgium, BeCraft lifts the veil on today's creativity, its new approaches and new techniques.

From up the ground

During BJW, Galerie Augusta is inviting BeCraft artists to join its current exhibition "From the ground up". A selection of jewellery in keeping with the gallery's ethos: unique, innovative and made from reused or bio-sourced materials.

Nurdos Aliaskarov was born in 1984 and is a founder of NURDOS JEWELLERY brand, which is based in Almaty, the cultural Capital of Kazakhstan! He holds a bachelor degree in arts and has about 20 years of working experience as a jewelry designer, and has been painting since his childhood! He is coming from a family of artists/painters and gets the inspiration from his roots! His Nomadic jewelry “cracks” the cultural codes of Central-Asian Nomads and projects the spirituality of Nurdos’s steppe predecessors! At first, he imagines his work, then he puts it on paper by drawing and finally, in his atelier, it gets the final shape and allure! He calls his technique: “mixed media”, since he is combining ethno-nomadic and contemporary! You can call it: «ethno-modernism»!

Studio 34 is a collective of three contemporary jewelry designers located in the Marolles district. New pieces not yet exhibited will be presented.T hey will have as a guest for the event the Slovak designer Tomas Miscovic, who will present rings from his Shelter collection.
