Savi designer Gerhard Herbst offers workshops and Master classes in jewellery design and the metalsmithing arts.
Gerhard has over 25 years professional experience in designing and producing his unique style of Hand Forged Jewellery for the industry.
Traditionally trained in the metalsmithing arts ,Gerhard draws most of his inspirations from the Contemporary Danish Metalsmiths of the late 1960's, and the work of the American Sculpture, Alexander Calder.
Working primarily from flat sterling sheet and wire, Gerhard individually forges and hammers his forms simultaneously stretching and compressing the material to create superior flex, strength, and temper in his work.
It is these unique structural properties that allows Gerhard to produce the spatial sculptural forms and curvilinear shapes which feature most predominately in his work.
