Want to learn the basic skills for turning recycled copper into wearable art? Come to the workshop this Saturday at Rockingham Arts Centre, where you can see what I’ve done with recycled objects (conveniently, I have a show in the other room 😉 ) and learn to make your own jewellery or wall art using the same techniques.
This class will involve diagnosing scrap metals to find their suitability for jewellery versus wall art, and basic forming and clean-up techniques.
I’ll provide meters and meters of pre-used electrical cable, and together we’ll strip the shielded copper wire from its plastic. Then you can go to town designing, cutting and manipulating this wire to make jewellery and other objects, along with other recycled materials.
To help realise the full potential of our foundlings, I’ll bring some pre-made stainless steel earring hooks and brooch backings, as well as silk and waxed linen cord to hang pendants.
