B. Mediterraneo - Plastic Evolution
Discover Beauty in Transforming Beach Plastics into Precious Jewelry
Jewelry has a rich history rooted in the use of locally available materials,
such as seashells, bones, and teeth, by early humans.
They instinctively crafted adornments from their immediate surroundings,
much like we will with plastic waste.
Today, Mediterranean beaches, among others, are burdened with plastics, posing a significant environmental challenge. As we confront this ongoing issue, I see an opportunity to make a choice—to creatively use what we have and rethink our settled views.
There's no need to seek preciousness from afar; we can create it with what we have at hand. Can we reshape our perceptions of beauty and value?
Join me for an inspiring workshop where we breathe new life into discarded plastics from the Mediterranean Sea, crafting them into stunning, elegant jewelry.
Description
Work directly with handpicked plastic pieces from my collection, each item thoughtfully selected over many years.
Learn silversmithing techniques to design and craft your own stud earrings, ring, or pendant, infusing personal style with eco-conscious craftsmanship.
Engage in discussions about beauty, value, and sustainability, reflecting on how our surroundings influence our artistic expressions.
This workshop transcends jewelry-making; it's about redefining our perceptions of preciousness and beauty in a world grappling with plastic pollution. By the end of the session, you'll not only have a unique piece of jewelry but also a fresh perspective on materials and their significance.
The workshop is designed for 1-2 people, ensuring personalized attention and ample opportunity for hands-on learning. Instruction is available in English, Italian, and Greek.
