Porcelain jewellery

In this workshop, we will create unique jewellery from existing pieces of porcelain. Old plates, cups, bowls or shards — objects that have been forgotten, found or inherited and have lost their original purpose — will be given a new life as earrings, necklaces or brooches.

Please bring your own porcelain piece, which you would like to transform into jewellery. Together, we will first select suitable parts and plan the design, then cut and sand the porcelain so that the pieces are safe and comfortable to wear. Finally, we will assemble the porcelain elements into a finished piece of jewellery.

The workshop is suitable for anyone interested in sustainable approaches to design, material reuse and the creation of unique objects. No prior knowledge is required.
