Masieraad company information, Employees & Contact Information

MASieraad is a two year independent and contemporary Jewellery Design Master Programme by: Aldo Bakker, Ruudt Peters, Ted Noten and Liesbeth den Besten hosted by PXL-MAD in Hasselt, Belgium. MASieraad is based on the premise that there is no such thing as the ‘right’ jewellery. The program is engineered with the combined extensive professional educational experience and the distinct artistic and substantive views of the head teachers. This expertise is complemented with the diversity, innovation, educational background, and artistic expression of the partner teachers Estella Saez, Kalkidan Hoex, Alena Alexandrova, and thesis supervisor Ben Shai van der Wal. Given the reputation of the four heads of department and the productive synergy with their partner teachers, the teaching team of MASieraad has no equal anywhere else in the world. The student body, international with diverse cultural and creative backgrounds, together with 8 teachers from different artistic careers and methodologies, allows for a fascinating dynamic where ideas and collaborations flourish. The additional guest lecturers at the campus throughout the year are invited to bring exposure to new ideas, mediums and techniques and to help the students network with globally connected professionals. MASieraad’s unique organization, where the head instructors are also the board members creates a flat hierarchy. This ensures our commitment to the students and allows for immediate adjustments. We are MASieraad, we are approachable, and we are highly independent. Our program is aligned with the official international standards for higher art education, which is guaranteed by our collaboration with PXL-MAD.
