This panel discussion, chaired by curator and maker Joanne Hayward, will explore contemporary jewellery and making practices at the cutting edge of sustainable thinking.

Joanne will be joined in conversation by makers Melanie Eddy, Deborah Beck and Rachael Colley, whose work considers topics including recycling, material use, conscientious making and material innovation, as well as Karen Westland, Ethical Making Programme Manager at the Scottish Goldsmiths’ Trust.

There will be the opportunity to ask questions and join in the discussion

This event has been inspired by the Association for Contemporary Jewellery exhibition ‘Meanings & Messages’, which is on show in the Goldsmiths’ Centre Atrium until 24th February 2023. An associated catalogue is available for £5.
