Adriana Hendel:
​Jewellery

Picture
Picture


​I'm from a family of seven children. I was brought up in the Netherlands and started an early artistic career by winning a national painting competition at age 12.

Followed evening classes in classic art education , I finished under private tuition at the Art Academy in Haarlem Holland.

I immigrated with my husband and two children to New Zealand in 1974 and continued studying are as an adult student.


I became a nationally known Raku potter depicting the New Zealand coastline in a most intricate manner, holding numerous exhibitions over a period of 18 years, with 5 entries in the  annual Fletcher Challenge award.

A major change to glass in 1998 established the need for a creative partner when it became clear that a silversmith was needed to mount the delicate designs I was making.

Happily my husband Christian Hendel, now retired from a long technical design teaching career, has studied in New Zealand under the best silversmith in Northland. His technical skills are a true artistic compliment to the small glass pieces that I create - you can see the front and the back of each piece in the gallery below.

Come and visit our purpose-built HENDEL GLASS studio and see how we combine our skills to create something truly personal and unique.​
