Friend of moodboard, Jessica de Lotz offers recession busting 'Make do and Mend' jewellery workshops.
During
Coutts London Jewellery Week (June 8 - 14) Jessica de Lotz winner of
the 2009 Coutts New Jewellers Award has teamed up with others of her
student cohort and members of the Jewellery Designer's Collective
(JeDeCo). They will showcase the best of their work, present jewellery
making demonstrations and deliver a series of workshop events aimed at
helping the rest of us realise our own potential for jewellery design.
Jessica,
a recent graduate from Central Saint Martins (2008) will be hosting two
recession busting 'Make do and Mend' workshops for children and adults.
Live workshops will inspire the makers and magpies amongst us to make
the most of their keepsakes by remaking them into wearable jewellery
creations.

Jessica's
jewellery collections are narrative based tributes, reflecting on the
'social lives' of objects and the history of their owners'. Largely
inspired by her father, a self - employed military history book seller
with an ethos of 'Make do and Mend, Jessica is guided by an overriding
appreciation of age and history. Her jewellery embodies the concepts of
time, concealment and heritage as she strives to create 'heirlooms of
the future.'
She is now stocking at Miss Lala's Boudoir in
Primrose Hill and Monmonth Stret with an exclusive collection titled,
'A Love Story. Paris 1946' and also at Kabiri in Marylebone, Selfridges
and their new store in Covent Garden.
