Want to learn how to
mend or re-style your costume jewellery? Our workshop will provide you with
basic skills and guidance on how to up-cycle your broken or out moded jewellery
into something you'll love. We will supply all findings necessary and you can
choose from a selection of components and beads for your design. Participants
are encouraged to bring their own jewellery to the workshop to work with,
though starter packs will be provided. Guidance on techniques will be given by
your tutor including handouts for you to practice your newfound skills at home.
From catwalk to closet we will show you how to take inspiration from designers
using trend boards to interpret high-end designs and create your own Retrouve
piece. No previous jewellery making experience is necessary as you will be
shown basic beading and jewellery making skills on the day.
Retrouve was
established in 2009 by Jo Whelan. With its make-do-and-mend philosophy Retrouve
is both eco- friendly and stylish, creating pieces combining salvaged vintage
and mass-produced jewellery into unique statement pieces. In our current
consumer culture objects that are out of fashion or broken are disposed of
often in environmentally irresponsible ways. Retrouve jewellery uses recycled
elements where possible (except earring posts).

DRESS UP/DOWNload is an open source fashion concept, which invites you to be part of the design process: produce a series of prints using simple garments as a canvas. Designed and delivered by textile designer and Ph.D. student Jen Ballie, the co-design workshop allows you to create a design for a garment using collage techniques. Leave with a fashion illustration of your very own creation.
Jen Ballie's
research and practice is centered around three components co-design, digital
media and sustainability.
Jen has a BDes in
Textile Design and a Masters of Design with distinction from Duncan of
Jordanstone, College of Art & Design, Dundee University. Her masters
focused on design theory, thinking and practice and explored how digital media
might reduce our consumption of throwaway fashion. During her Masters she was successful for a PhD scholarship call linked to TFRG, funded by Neal’s Yard. She
is based at Chelsea College of Art & Design within the Textiles
Environmental Design (TED) Research Unit.
