Create sensational summery earrings perfect for the Festive Season and beyond with eco jeweller Sue Garrard.

Here's what you will do.

Using pre-cut reclaimed aluminium shapes you will design your earrings.

After that you will create holes in the metal for assembly and then use low-temp enamels that will be fired in the cutest of kilns that run on candlepower to create a colourful hardwearing surface.

Finally, you will assemble and complete all the pieces using sterling silver jump rings and ear hooks.

By the end of the workshop you will have created a dazzling pair of earrings, guaranteed to impress family and friends during Christmas festivities.

Sue keeps her workshop participant numbers small, making it easier for her to give you her undivided attention.

About the facilitator

Sue Garrard is a South Australian artist practicing in the areas of jewellery, printmaking, and sculpture. Her work focuses on sustainability and challenges society’s perceptions of preciousness.

Using reclaimed and recycled materials enables Sue to balance her desire to create with a practice that treads lightly on the planet and sparks conversations about sustainability and our relationship with materials. Sue believes workshops are where this dialogue becomes hands-on. It’s a chance to challenge ideas about what’s “precious” and show how beauty and sustainability can coexist.

Seeing participants discover the potential in something overlooked is incredibly rewarding.
