Small Space Jewellery is an intimate encounter of the contemporary kind, first established in 2000 by Robyn Wernicke, who has been working as a jeweller and designer for over 30 years. Robyn holds an Honours Degree in Fine Art Gold and Silver Smithing, completed at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and an apprenticeship qualification.
Lectures:
She has lectured in jewellery design and manufacture at several places including RMIT, NMIT & Shanghai China where she developed and taught an extensive course covering "western design principles in contemporary jewellery".
Robyn has exhibited both in Australia and overseas and her work has been acquired for several collections.
Books:
More recently Robyn's work has been published in several books including a jury selected Belgium "International annual of contemporary jewel art" & the "Spanish year book of contemporary jewellery". Also a book published on "Australian maker's marks from 1950 to 2005".
A commitment to broadening public education in contemporary jewellery and design is an ongoing project with a passion for individuality, seeking out the unusual without compromise on skill and workmanship.
Displays:
Alongside Robyn's work sits that of several other Australian jewellery designers, creating an eclectic mix in a display that is constantly changing. Small Space Jewellery calls for more than a casual glance if you are to take in the treasures hidden throughout. Customers are encouraged to try the pieces on & are given information about the making process, the materials and the designer.
