For these pieces Dittlmann does not start from drawings, but allows the dense structure and layered geometric patterning to develop as she works. The result is a supreme combination of delicacy and strength, the complexity yet regularity of the forms reminiscent of structures within nature. Both the construction and the enamelling are highly laborious processes, with over fifty coats of the enamel being separately applied and fired.\r\n\r\nBettina Dittlmann trained as a silversmith at the Staatliche Berufsfachschule für Glas und Schmuck in Neugablonz, and as a goldsmith at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich under Professors Hermann Jünger and Otto Künzli.","physicalDescription":"Dome-like structure of densely-layered repeating shapes made of iron wire covered in matt, granular red enamel.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Dittlmann, Bettina","id":"A21351"},"association":{"text":"designer and maker","id":"x34662"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"iron","id":"AAT11002"},{"text":"enamel","id":"AAT14910"}],"techniques":[{"text":"enamelling","id":"x37485"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Iron binding wire and enamel","categories":[{"text":"Jewellery","id":"THES48930"},{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"},{"text":"Europeana Fashion Project","id":"THES265804"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2009CC6148","2009CC6147","2009CC6146"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"91","id":"THES49703"},"free":"","case":"46","shelf":"B","box":"4"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"brooch","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Germany","id":"x28873"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"2007-2008","earliest":"2007-01-01","latest":"2008-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"57","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"69","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"Unmarked","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Brooch, enamelled iron, Bettina Dittmann, Germany, 2007-8","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["M.30-2009"],"accessionNumberNum":"30","accessionNumberPrefix":"M","accessionYear":2009,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-05-02","recordCreationDate":"2009-06-24","availableToBook":false}}
