Silversmith Gregers Holt

Gregers portræt

Gregers Holt, born in 1960 in Roskilde, educated silversmith from Georg Jensen Silversmithy in 1982.

Born and raised in an active and creative home, his mother a sculptor from Danish Art Academy, Gregers´sence of design and shape was challenged from the very beginning.

Gregers´interest in tableware became instant when he saw the first exhibition of the Silversmith Group in 1976 in Copenhagen. Gregers decided to become a silversmith himself. He wanted to master the noble metal and create beautiful objects which could be used every day - year after year.

In 2006 Gregers and his wife bought the old silversmithy Evald Nielsen..... The goal was (and still is)  to re-create fine silverware of the highest quality. Made from old Evald Nielsen drawings and designs. Also new and modern silverware is being produced at the workshop today.
