OPEN HUIS

Underneath the workshop of Jan van Nouhuys a small but charming exhibition space has been created.

During three days in December STUDIO 925 will be open :

Friday 9 December          11.00 - 18.00 hours

Saturday 10 December   11.00 - 24.00 hours !! (from 18 - 24 Nacht van het Zilver)

Sunday 11 December      13.00 - 18.00 hours

We warmly invite you to view the collection.

The teapot "Kubieke thee", made in 1997, has come back into the collection, as well as some other objects with the cubic as starting point.

They illustrate how Van Nouhuys started of with functional objects and gradually, not intentionally, but quite naturally, grew into making objects like the one shown below, the Pauw Wow II, one of his last creations.

NACHT VAN HET ZILVER

Saturday 10 December STUDIO 925 will be one of the places that can be visited during the NACHT VAN HET ZILVER taking place from 18.00 - 24.00 hours. Around Schoonhoven many gold- and silversmiths receive you in a Christmassy atmosphere while showing their work.
