March 2017

HS4 event in the HS3 Concept & Conception exhibition, to introduce their fundraising campaign in stand B1-782 FRAME galleries, Internationale Handwerksmesse 2017, Munich.

Handshake 4 postcard project

The mentees of Handshake 4 have designed a blank postcard in the hope that many of their fellow artists and creatives will decorate the card (with a drawing or piece of writing or whatever takes their fancy) and post it back to Wellington NZ where later in the year a blind auction of the returned postcards will be held to raise funds for the Handshake programme.

We do hope that you can spare a couple of minutes to design your card in support of Handshake. We are hoping to amass a collection of cards designed by a variety of artists from around the world in order to raise funds to support this unique and invaluable contemporary jewellery initiative, now in its fourth incarnation.

Thank you for your handshake, it is very much appreciated

Best wishes
