Eventbrite: Jewellery from repurposed plastic
About the one day workshop :
During the day participants will learn about the types and characteristics of plastics readily available as waste and a range of safe, cold-working and hot working techniques that can be used to create jewellery and other small objects.
The sessions will include short talks, practical demonstrations and plenty of time for making and experimenting. Students will go home with new skills and understandings of how to safely use waste plastic as well as some beautiful, colourful pieces of jewellery to wear.
Bronwen is an award winning artist and jeweller, who trained at Sir John Cass, Camberwell School of Art and Bath Spa University where she explored the use of waste plastics as part of an MA. She is a qualified and experienced teacher and has exhibited widely (inc. Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Llantarnum Grange, Craft in the Bay) She is a selected member of Design Nation, Findamaker and the Crafts Council.
Bronwen’s bold, contemporary jewellery is made from plastic she finds on the beaches of Pembrokeshire where she lives. She is inspired by natural forms and the marks created by wind, tide and water.
She loves teaching and aims to support everyone, whatever their level of experience or confidence, to experiment, play and learn new skills. Waste plastic is an inspiring material and sadly in plentiful supply!!
