Doodling in 3D with Moray Wellbeing Hub

We round off the series of workshops by looking at how to turn cycle tubes into a simple statement necklace.

After a successful start transforming T-shirts, our online classes moved on to plastic, to turn them into jewellery pieces.

With a physical exhibition now delayed by lockdown to December, we are bringing you a preview online.

It was quite a change of plans for the project as we had got up to full speed on practical workshops, with excellent feedback from the various sessions and further venues and groups all ready to go.

A brief welcome to set the scene for online classes on the way.

We had two sessions with trainees, to introduce some of the techniques in making use of pre-loved items and everyday materials.

We prepared a range of activities, with a number of displays as well for inspiration, from upcycled jewellery pieces to items created from yarn from pre-loved T-shirts. We also had one of the specially created costumes with us, with its bright spring green colour.

Our costumes made from waste materials are now ready for display. They will appear tomorrow (Monday 17th) late morning in one of the large windows of Moray Reach Out in Church Street, Buckie.

When constructing an art-wearable piece of garment from pre-loved and discarded materials, the process itself flows and grows organically.
