'Make Do & Mend' Brooch Workshop with Simone Nolden

  • Elements Festival 33 Broughton Place Edinburgh, Scotland, EH1 3RR United Kingdom (map)

Join jeweller and Elements 2022 Exhibitor Simone Nolden for a 'Make Do and Mend' brooch workshop. Necklaces made from washers, ribbon, and sink strainers? Women in the 1940s learned how to adorn themselves with all types of items found in the home.

Join this fun jewellery making session to learn about how the women of the 1940s made the most of the materials available at the time to create some unique jewellery.

Following a short introduction attendees are shown a variety of the techniques to create their own quirky vintage style brooches using electrical wire and buttons.

The workshop includes the ticket cost of visiting Elements. Tickets are eligible for entry throughout the Elements weekend.
