Organised by Sarabande Foundation
A hands-on introduction to working with metal clay, implementing the spirit of ancient alchemy to transform ordinary material into metal.
About this event
Explore the process of creating finished copper charms at our two-hour workshop with resident Sarabande jewellers Miya Kumo and Matilde Mozzanega. This is a hands-on introduction to working with metal clay, implementing the spirit of ancient alchemy to transform ordinary material into metal.
This workshop is designed for all levels and no prior experience in jewellery or sculpture is necessary. This workshop will not only teach participants the foundational techniques of working with metal clay, but also introduce the process of firing and polishing finished pieces to reveal their hidden brilliance. To make sure everyone kept safe, the firing and polishing of pieces will be instructive only and be completed by Miya and Matilde.
Join us and craft unique charms to dazzle on bags, keychains, as festive ornaments, or as your next favorite piece of jewelry!
About Sarabande Foundation
Sarabande was set up by the late designer, Lee Alexander McQueen, who left the majority of his estate to support creative and visionary talent. In addition to providing scholarships and studio space for artists, Sarabande produces a number of events, from the practical to the inspirational.
Sarabande operates from a listed Stable Block conversion in Haggerston, where 15 studios form a creative community with designers and artists from multiple disciplines. Immersed in the hub of East London’s rich creative spirit, Sarabande exudes all that encompasses the creative sphere. The building is home to a plethora of artisans reflecting the multifarious span of Lee’s talent and the variety of craftspeople he worked with his own collections. Amongst others, our tactile artists include sculptors, fashion designers, jewellers, textile designers, painters, performance artists, silversmiths, costume designers, ceramicists, and dancers. Alongside these, Sarabande also houses filmmakers, animators, photographers, digital designers, and visual artists.
