My Trove Jewels
Londons Collective
Jewellery-making at Café Volonté
Necklaces, bracelets and one unexpected belt chain. At Café Volonté in Fitzrovia, we gave Londons Collective the materials and guidance, then left room for people to surprise us.
The brief
Host a beginner-friendly jewellery workshop for Londons Collective, welcoming people arriving on their own as well as with friends.
Our role
We prepared charms, chains, clasps and tools, with necklaces and bracelets as the starting point. We guided the construction while leaving the choice of details and style to each guest.
On the day
Guests compared layouts and helped with each other’s designs. One participant took the materials in another direction and made a belt chain. Gift bags carried the collaboration through to what guests took home.
The finished experience
A range of personal pieces from one shared table. The belt chain was a lovely example of what happens when the materials leave room for someone else’s idea.
