THE BIG MAKE - Friday 12.30pm, Saturday 12.30pm, Sunday 5.30pm | Instagram: @emmacalvertjewellery
I’m also taking part in The Big Make alongside 8 other makers, each of us having a challenge to complete work over the Festival weekend.
My challenge to create a necklace from recycled denim - see how I (hopefully) transform a few pairs of old jeans into a new statement necklace! I’m excited to use some more unusual materials in my work, especially while actively looking for ways of becoming a more sustainable in everything that I do. Creating this necklace from unwanted materials will be part of making this change throughout everything I create going forwards. My ultimate goal is to work towards being a circular, sustainable business, with little or no waste, sourcing the most sustainable materials and using the most efficient production methods possible.
