2012 - 100% Recycled
In 2010 JMGQ members participated when Griffith University hosted the Ethical Metalsmiths to come to Australia and hold a "Radical Jewellery Makeover"(RJM) at QCA. The RJM is an educational, community focused initiative developed to highlight and raise awareness of the source of materials. In the lead up, members of the community were invited to donate unwanted pieces of jewellery. This "urban mining" resulted in over 9 kg of donated jewellery which were sorted and disassembled for re use. The participating artists selected from the donations to recycle and re-configure into contemporary jewellery pieces. The generosity of the donations meant that there was a lot of ‘raw’ material left over.
100% recycled follows on from the RJM experience and embraces similar ideals of environmental responsibility in jewellery-making. Using the left-over and unused articles of donated jewellery from the 2010 RJM, JMGQ members were invited to attend a one-day workshop to choose materials, begin creating the jewellery pieces, share ideas and gather as a community of makers.
Exhibiting Artists: Alicia Lane, Anita Milroy, Ann Chadwick, Beau Allen, Christopher Hardwick, Clare Poppi, Georgina Dunn, Kathleen Hunt, Katie Stormonth, Leigh Wagner, Lisa Crispin, Lynda Shale, Lynn Mortensen, Margaret Wegener, Paola Raggo, Pierina Curties, Sue Whiteman and Wendy Duffield.
Exhibition Dates: November - December 2012
Opening Event: Friday, 9 November 2012, 5:00pm - 6:30pm
Venue: Brisbane Square Library
Address: 226 George St, Brisbane CBD
