| [CCL] Upcycling Plastic Bags into Raden-Style Jewellery: Crafting Recycled “Shell Inlay” Brooch Pins Raden (螺鈿) is a traditional Intangible Cultural Heritage technique celebrated for its intricate shell inlay artistry. In this workshop, we reinterpret this craft by replacing delicate mother-of-pearl with upcycled plastic materials, transforming everyday waste into shimmering wearable art. All plastic “shell” fragments are sourced from cleaned and layered discarded plastic bags, snack wrappers, bubble mailers, and packaging films. Participants will then inlay these vibrant recycled pieces into metal brooch bases and seal them with clear resin, achieving the lustrous shimmer characteristic of genuine shell inlays. Join us to explore this innovative blend of traditional technique and sustainable practice, crafting beautiful jewellery while giving new life to plastic waste. |

To show the versatility of a piece of clothing, you can layer, sew, or make any amendments as you please, but you must use at least 2 pieces of summer clothes in your winter outfit. |
