From Waste to Wearable: Rethinking Materials Through Making
£40.00
Isle of Wight Biosphere Festival 2026
A hands-on jewellery workshop exploring how everyday materials can be transformed into meaningful, wearable pieces.
Using reclaimed plastics, repurposed elements and found materials, you’ll design and create either a layered pendant or a pair of statement earrings. Along the way, we’ll gently reflect on value, waste, and our relationship with the materials we use.
Each session offers a calm, guided making experience, whether in an intimate studio setting or a more relaxed, social evening environment.
All materials are included. You’re also welcome to bring a small piece of plastic or old jewellery to incorporate into your design.
