Michael Berger

On the opening night of COLLECT and during the weekend we were lucky enough to have some of the artists there with us, chatting to people about their work. Both Micheal Berger and Micheal Becker flew over from Germany especially. We have a special stand for Michaels jewellery, were you can turn the red balls which twists the rings around and makes them move. Lots of people stopped to play with them! 

Michael Berger creates Kinetic Jewellery from precious metals and precious and semi- precious stones. Individual elements can rotate, be turned or can swing, inspired by the kinetic energy of the body. Berger follows in the footsteps of his mentor, the master craftsman Friedrich Becker who was the first maker to begin making kinetic jewellery in the 1960's.
