Peter Cullman

Germany-South Africa 1941- 

Peter Cullman was born in Berlin and completed his goldsmiths apprentice in Idar, Germany.

After spending time in Israel, he emigrated to South Africa in 1963. He played a vital role as a founder and leader in the establishment of the Goldsmiths Guild of South Africa in Johannesburg. The Guild aimed to elevate jewellery as an art form through standardised maker's marks, hallmarking and organizing exhibitions of original and high-quality local design. The guild was dissolved in the late 1970s due to political turmoil and emigration. Cullman himself relocated to Toronto, continuing his craft abroad.

His modernist design style has received international recognition.
