Metalab – Jewellery, Objects, Design Studio Gallery

Contemporary jewellery designer Mark Vaarwerk will be showcasing his new works at Metalab in his first solo exhibition. Mark has established an iconic and ever expanding collection of work. Transforming base materials such as shopping bags, orange juice bottles, milk containers and even hand cream bottles, these discarded elements of everyday consumerism become creative and colourful adornment for the body, juxtaposed with precious metals of silver and gold. The application and fusion of these recycled materials with traditional silver smithing and hand-spun fibre techniques has become an obvious design trademark of his work

Vaarwerk ensures his work has a ‘re-use and recirculation’ history through the transformation and reinvention of these materials into innovative jewellery and object pieces.
