Moreover, in the exhibition the students had the chance to watch the film composing of the pictures taken during the summer school. Summer school Jewelry and designs were also adored by the people in the regions where they were exhibited.
Under the scope of Jewelry Design Summer School project, 14 successful students from 7 different universities that provide education in Jewelry design and technology in Turkey participated in the summer school studies in Antalya Olympos. The main concept was determined as "Mediterranean & Mediterranean" in the educational program organized with the consultancy of Altan Ture and Mujgan Emre. During the summer school, Goldas Jewelry designer Olgu Tukel tried to tell young designer candidates what kind of things will be waiting for them when they start their professional lives by sharing his knowledge and experiences.
The educational program was integrated with an excursion route in order to enable the students feel and understand better the atmosphere, culture and structure of the period for their studies to be made with the determined concept.
The first five artworks selected by the jury at the end of the project were manufactured under the name of Mediterranean Collection by Goldas. The collection consists of "Mediterranean Seal" that symbolizes Mediterranean and the cultural synthesis created by these civilizations, "Lyre" which is one of the most important symbols of Apollon, "Ram Head Jewelry set" where acanthus plant and flower ornamentations that decorate the column heads are used, "Columns" that contains columns which are among the symbols of Mediterranean architecture and finally "Elegance" that consists of the designs where the arrows of Eros the God of Love are used.
Goldas Jewelry Design Summer School Project and the following exhibitions will continue to be organized with the participation of new schools in the forthcoming years.
