Riassunto

Sustainability is foremost in the minds of many designer-makers at the
moment; there has been a surge of environmentally-sustainable
developments in the collections shown recently at Origin, New
Designers in Islington, Pulse and Collect. Jewellers are very
aware of sustainability issues, as such a large proportion of their
traditional materials come from non-sustainable sources (precious
stones and metals) and they have traditionally used acids, dyes, and
other techniques not renowned for their eco-friendliness. This book
will encourage makers to recycle and show how 'pre-loved' or
traditionally throw-away materials can provide new inspiration. Includes
stunning photos of the work of established and experimental
jewellers from around the world.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Julia Manheim originally trained as a jeweller, and became well-known
in the 1980s for her large-scale but light sculptural bodywear, made
from materials such as painted newspaper and plastic. She is also a
sculptor and installation artist with a passion for sustainability and
recycled materials. She often uses discarded paper, glass, plastic, wood
and metal to make her own work, and then reuses them again to create
new work. Julia is Senior Lecturer on the BA Jewellery Programme at
Middlesex University, where her students are encouraged to explore the
concept of jewellery broadly, using materials appropriate to the idea
they want to express rather than purely for the sake of convention.
