Radical Jewelry Makeover workshop wanted in central Florida!
I would absolutely love to see Ethical Metalsmiths bring its Radical Jewelry Makeover workshop program to central Florida. Sustainable jewelry design training opportunities are always a big plus in my book. And, it’s a cause for I would not mind donating some of my time and energy.
Radical Jewelry Makeover is an innovative workshop program that encourages the public to donate unwanted jewelry for recycling into redesigned jewelry items by a team of volunteer jewelers and metalsmiths. These volunteer artisans pick up new skills in sustainable jewelry design by transforming donated items into cutting-edge, wearable works of art. In return for their contributions, those that donate unwanted jewelry for use in the workshops are given a discount on a “new” piece of jewelry. Proceeds from sales at the end of the workshop support Ethical Metalsmiths.
Ethical Metalsmiths is a nonprofit organization that aims to connect artisans with responsibly sourced metals and gemstones. It’s a very worthwhile goal, and one I fully support.
