Description
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 cutting, shaping and forming 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. No previous experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to get stuck in.
