G’day Rockingham and Rockingham adjacent craft aficionados. I’m bringing my wagon to town, and I want to invite y’all to come play with many, many meters of copper wire and some other intriguing bits and bobs. It’s gonna be fun!

Are you the magpie always finding bits of rusty steel on the street? Do you have a small collection of beautifully shaped scrap metals in your home that you love but don’t know what to do with? Are you ready to make your masterpiece? Bring your rusty or recycled bits and bobs to this class to learn the skills to turn them into beautiful and unique art with jewellery artist Melissa Cameron.
This class will involve diagnosing scrap metals to find their suitability for jewellery versus wall art, and basic clean-up techniques. With the provided recycled materials, students will be stripping shielded copper wire from its plastic sheath, then designing, cutting and manipulating this wire to make jewellery and other objects, along with their recycled materials. Melissa will provide pre-made stainless steel earring hooks and brooch backings, as well as silk and waxed linen cord to hang pendants.
