REWORKED: A Zero-Waste Jewellery Workshop with Shock of Grey

Join us at IMMA's Winter Sessions - Create one-of-a-kind jewellery from vintage finds, preloved beads and forgotten treasures. Create one-of-a-kind jewellery from vintage finds, preloved beads and forgotten treasures in this colourful, hands-on workshop with Shock of Grey. Featured on RTÉ Nationwide, REWORKED is one of Shock of Grey’s most popular workshops and has been enjoyed by participants at Electric Picnic, IMMA Earth Rising (2023, 2024 & 2025) and Wolf & Badger in London. Explore a treasure trove of vintage and preloved beads, broken jewellery, chains, charms and reclaimed materials, then mix, match and reimagine them to create something completely your own. You’ll learn simple techniques for taking jewellery apart, combining unexpected materials and transforming unwanted pieces into something new and wearable. Bring along old, broken or forgotten jewellery from home and give it a new life, or choose from the colourful collection of materials provided, sourced from charity shops and donations. REWORKED is a playful introduction to creative reuse and zero-waste design, encouraging experimentation rather than perfection. No previous jewellery-making experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to get creative. Suitable for ages 12+. No soldering is involved. Glue, jewellery-making tools, findings and materials will be supplied. ---
