If you're wondering what to do with those bits of jewellery you don't wear anymore or broken watches you can't bear to throw away, read on!
This workshop gives students the opportunity to recycle and make new jewellery from old or broken pieces using a range of coldworking techniques. Other elements such as metal, plastic, glass, wood, paper, textiles and stone can also be incorporated to create something beautiful and totally unique.
Marie will explain and demonstrate how to design new jewellery pieces such as necklaces, earrings, bracelets and pendants, combining a range of materials. Students will make their own pieces working with elements such as rivets, wirework and resin. At the end of the day you'll leave with a unique, evocative and wearable work of art.
