Wearable Art with discarded materials

Turn trash into treasure in this fun, hands-on jewellery-making workshop with contemporary maker Bronwen Gwillim. Using waste plastic as her medium, Bronwen invites you to explore creative, sustainable ways of transforming discarded materials into bold, wearable art.

In this engaging session, participants will learn about different types of plastic and a range of techniques for safely turning them into unique jewellery pieces. Guided by Bronwen’s expertise and playful approach, you’ll experiment with colour, texture and form before creating a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery to wear home with pride.
