An old tradition renewed
Up until the eigteenth century, the education of future smiths was organized by the gild. As a child, you would become a student with a master to learn the trade. When you mastered the trade well enough, you were challenged to create something to show off your skill: a masterpiece. This tradition was renewed in 2004.
The students of the vocational school now finish their education by creating their own masterpiece. The works that are exhibited are from the past year.
Sponsors of the Masterpieces are:
JUWON, Rob Glastra Fotografie Schoonhoven, Bijou Moderne, BirGem, Fa. G.J. van den Bergh Zilverwerken, Herens & Herens, Artis Causa & Vakschool Schoonhoven.
