Surely everyone has at home some magazine or newspaper browsed, read and now waiting to be thrown away; in the best case recycled.
 
Recycling, a magic word for all creative people. You can give new meaning to a printed page by transforming it into a unique piece to wear or to give to someone else. By cutting out words, letters, fragments, we will transform them by making them live again in everyday accessories: pendants, brooches, earrings, rings, necklaces... A game and a challenge to creativity.
 
The workshop, lasting one day, is open to everyone.
 
In the first part we will choose cuttings and words that attract us, with which we will then cover flat cardboard shapes (round, rectangular, square or oval) transforming them into personalized jewelry, adopting the cartonnage technique.
 
This is not a workshop just for women... We would like to remind everyone that creating jewelry is not just a female occupation, and that the creative potential of men exists, ready to be explored and enjoyed.
 
Usually, when thinking of a piece of jewelry to wear, we imagine it made of noble metals or precious stones: surely the last material that comes to mind is paper, considered fragile and delicate, yet even a sheet of paper can be transformed into a strong and long-lasting jewel. Seeing is believing!
