The exhibition \u201cDe Mains De Ma\u00eetres,\u201d launched in December 2016 by Their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand Duke and the Hereditary Grand Duchess, highlighted the exceptional craftsmanship of Luxembourg\u2019s designers and artisans.<\/p>\n

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of art objects during this exhibition, which attracted 10,000 visitors, was allocated to support the country\u2019s artisans and artists who wished to train or refine their skills through the awarding of a grant.<\/p>\n

About ten applications\u2014each as interesting as they were diverse, both in the nature of their requests and in the skills and materials involved\u2014were submitted to the association De Mains De Ma\u00eetres Luxembourg.<\/p>\n

Although the decision by the jury\u2014composed of members of the association\u2019s board of directors, namely Her Royal Highness Princess St\u00e9phanie, Mr. Roland Kuhn, Ms. Fran\u00e7oise Thoma, CEO of BCEE, and Mr. Tom Wirion, Director General of the Chamber of Trades, assisted by Mr. Jean-Marc Dimanche, curator of the De Mains De Ma\u00eetres<\/i> exhibition\u2014was difficult, Ms. Sarah Meyers<\/b><\/a> ultimately won their full and unanimous support<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The first scholarship award ceremony took place on January 17, 2018<\/b> at the Chamber of Crafts in the presence of Their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess.<\/p>\n

Duotone<\/i> vases by Sarah Meyers<\/span><\/p>\n

Known for her passion and research on color<\/b>, Sarah Meyers<\/i><\/a> proposed a project that builds on the work she began during her Master of Art & Design program at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, focusing on bone ash porcelain and its coloring techniques.<\/p>\n

To this end, she chose to participate in a workshop dedicated to ceramics and color in the Chinese porcelain capital, Jingdezhen, as part of an international exchange program supported by UNESCO.<\/p>\n

A wonderful way to venture beyond our borders<\/b> to acquire unique expertise, which complements and refines the already established work of this very young designer, and is also the best way to enrich our local crafts in return.<\/p>\n

The quality and relevance of this project are a source of pride for the Mains De Ma\u00eetres association, reinforcing its commitment to awarding grants to artisans and artists to continually advance the excellence of the arts and crafts within the Grand Duchy itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
