Deborah Beck: Jewellers Talk

Join Jeweller and ACJ member Deborah Beck in the gallery for a talk at 1pm, followed by a demonstration and drop-in workshop from 2-4pm to learn how to make your own recycled creations using single-use plastics.

Deborah’s jewellery combines her environmental concerns with her silver and plastic-smithing skills to create sustainable wearable art, from recycled metals and discarded waste materials. Collecting single-use plastic litter which she finds on her daily walks along the river, she recycles them entirely by hand in her home studio, creating her own repurposed raw material which she refines and sets in recycled silver structures. Her work elevates the un-wanted into high-end contemporary jewellery without the high cost to the earth.
