emubeads’ diy workshop offers a space for learning some jewellery making skills and support to design a new jewellery piece from your existing collection.
it becomes an opportunity to cut up the old and re-thread your loved necklaces and bracelets that are too short, too broken, too outdated, into a contemporary new piece.
integrate the history and stories of your jewellery collection with a splash of emubeads’ handmade glass beads: offering a complimentary $10 of emubeads’ artisan forms & colours to fit your design.
your design,
your memories
emubeads’ diy recycle workshop evolved from a love of creating jewellery and women historically crafting together, while also acknowledging the planet and its finite resources. we learn to question the ideology of buying new and throwing away the old and instead, up-cycling what we have as a sustainable choice for the planet.
