From Waste to Wearable: Rethinking Materials Through Making
£45.00From Waste to Wearable: Rethinking Materials Through Making
Back by request following my well-received Biosphere Festival workshops, which sold out earlier this summer.
Join me for a relaxed and creative jewellery workshop exploring how reclaimed and unexpected materials can be transformed into something beautiful and meaningful.
Inspired by the themes of sustainability and thoughtful making, this workshop invites you to look at everyday materials differently. Using a selection of reclaimed, repurposed and recycled materials alongside simple jewellery-making techniques, you’ll create a unique piece of wearable jewellery while discovering how creativity can give new purpose to materials that might otherwise be overlooked.
Whether you’re completely new to jewellery making or simply looking for a creative experience, this workshop offers a welcoming space to slow down, experiment and make something that’s uniquely yours. Working in a small group, you’ll receive plenty of individual guidance and leave with a finished piece that reflects your own ideas and style.

Why this workshop?
Originally developed for the Biosphere Festival, From Waste to Wearable explores how creativity can change the way we think about materials. Following the wonderful response to the original workshops, I’m delighted to be offering two additional studio sessions this August.
It’s an opportunity to step away from the everyday, enjoy a relaxed morning of making and discover how reclaimed and unexpected materials can be transformed into something personal, thoughtful and completely unique.
