Munich Jewellery Week is one of the oldest and most prestigious contemporary jewellery exhibitions in the world; this year, Renee Pearson became the first New Zealander to win the Talente Prize at the fair. Objectspace's Director Kim Paton walks us through the exhibition and explores Pearson's win within the landscape of funding cuts and dwindling education opportunities for makers in New Zealand.
