L'ÉCOLE in Tokyo

A two-week ephemeral program of courses, talks and exhibitions

While L’ÉCOLE is based in Paris, its goal is to share its knowledge with the world. Every year, L’ÉCOLE travels to different destinations to meet its students and offer them, in their country, a varying array of courses, talks and exhibitions.

Japan was the first overseas country L’ÉCOLE visited, with a 14-day program held in 2013. Since then, similar programs have been held in Hong Kong, Dubai and New York. L’ÉCOLE now returns to Tokyo from Saturday, February 23rd – Friday, March 8th, 2019 with a series of 15 courses, 7 evening conversations and 3 exhibitions that invite the public to immerse themselves in the art of jewelry guided by leading experts.

For this very special event, L’ÉCOLE takes up residence at the Gaien Campus of Kyoto University of Art and Design, located in Gaienmae, Tokyo.

 

All of the instructors will travel to Japan from Paris and, via Japanese interpreters, will teach the same courses that are offered at L’ÉCOLE in Paris. The courses will be accompanied by exceptional exhibitions about jewelry, talk-based lectures called “Evening Conversations”, and kids' workshops, providing fresh knowledge to jewelry enthusiasts in Japan through a variety of formats.
