Radical Jewellery Makeover is headed to Australia!

Ethical Metalsmiths is taking Radical Jewellery Makeover further than it ever has before!


“We are really looking forward to hosting a Radical Jewellery Makeover at Queensland College of Art,” says Elizabeth Shaw, Convenor Jewellery and Small Objects. “Ethical Metalsmiths has designed a project that we are excited to share with our students and the community. RJM compliments our teachings about social and environmental responsibility in jewellery.”

Radical Jewellery Makeover project directors Susie Ganch and Christina Miller are honored by the opportunity to share their progressive, collaborative project with the Queensland community. While they are in Australia they will be participating in two symposia as well as leading one of their full-fledged RJM projects.
