Urban Mine 2010 - call for materials

The Brisbane Institute of Art Jewellery Studio will be hosting a workshop in late October based on the theme “URBAN MINE”. This workshop will focus on the recycling of unwanted materials such as plastics, jewellery, aluminium pots and pans, rubber, wire, computer components, material and more!

The workshop will culminate in an exhibition in early November where jewellery created in the workshop will be for sale to raise funds for the studio.


We are calling for the BIA community and greater public to donate some of their unwanted clutter to help us in our efforts to create awareness of recycling. By using the urban mine as a source of materials we will be lowering our impact as jewellers on the environment. So dig around in those draws and cupboards and donate today!!!


Items to be donated can be dropped off to the studio or office. To arrange your donation contact Dan Cox on 0409 226 083 or at dancoxart@optusnet.com.au .
