Join us for an evening of art, ideas, crafting and lots of fun with leading Adelaide contemporary jeweller Lauren Simeoni!

Starting with sharing her insider's insights into our current exhibition Island Welcome, which explores jewellery as a gesture of greeting, Lauren will guide you through experimenting with making jewellery using found objects, deconstructed sustainable materials and new simple ‘low-fi’ techniques.

No experience in jewellery-making required, just a keenness to create, share ideas and have fun!

We will supply some crafting tools, materials and safety glasses.

Please bring:

  • materials from home to share, which can include recycled materials e.g. clean bottle tops, plastics, foil, used wrapping papers and/or natural materials e.g. dry leaves, bark, seed pods

  • any favourite crafting hand tools you might have

  • sketchbook and drawing implements optional

  • safety glasses if you have a pair

Participants are required to wear closed-toe shoes.

Duration: 2 hours
Age range: 18+

Price: $35 / $30 concession
