Step into the after‑hours world of RELICS: A New World Rises, where forgotten materials are reimagined and nothing is quite what it was before.

This evening jewellery‑making workshop invites you to transform everyday waste into wearable relics, set to a smooth jazz soundtrack and paired with Emerald Island Gin cocktails. In a relaxed, social two‑hour Thursday night session, participants will experiment with plastic bottles, aluminium cans and repurposed gems – turning discarded materials into bold, one‑of‑a‑kind pieces.

Inspired by RELICS’ playful take on sustainability and creative reuse, this workshop celebrates curiosity, reinvention and the unexpected—because even the smallest off‑cuts can spark the most surprising transformations.

Your ticket includes:

– All materials (rescued, repurposed and ready for reinvention)
– Step‑by‑step creative guidance
– A crafted Emerald Island Gin cocktail (or two!)
– A laid‑back, after‑hours making experience inspired by the world of RELICS

No prior experience needed – just an open mind and a willingness to see old things differently.
