Like many schools these days, our pupils do a lesson per week called options. For nearly ten years now, I have been running a beaded jewellery option which has always been quite popular, but to be honest, I am getting a bit bored of it.
Anyway, last Thursday at my craft club meeting, we were going through a couple of bags of jewellery that we had been given to see if any of it was worth selling. A lot of the pieces were either broken or not very attractive and there was a bag of unwanted jewellery at the end. Rather than see it go to waste, I have decided to run an option on Upcycled Jewellery. Upcycling is the art of reusing unwanted items by converting them into something better.
I am hoping that we will have hours of fun rummaging through the pile and creating beautiful things from what we have found. I will take before and after photos and post them on the blog. I can’t wait to see what they will make!

Eight students have chosen to upcycle jewellery, including three boys - should be fun!
