V&A Schools Webinar Live: Make-Along: Jewellery and Accessories Inspired by Cartier

Teachers and students will join designer-artist Jacqui Ramrayka in this live Make-Along hosted on Zoom. Admire some of the imaginative and breath-taking jewellery made by artists and designers that features in the Cartier exhibition. Be inspired to create your own eye-catching accessories from materials you can find in your classroom or home.    

 

For this session, teachers will need to prepare the following materials per student in advance: 
 
1-2 pieces of min A4 card per student (this can be waste material like an old cereal packet or paper plate) 

1-2 sheets of min A4 aluminium foil  

2 handfuls of macaroni pasta per student pre-painted in different colours and gold (or students can pre-prepare cut up straws and cover them in tissue paper or coloured paper) 

1-2 straws (paper or waste plastic) per student 

1-2 sheets of tissue paper  

Feathers 

Plastic waste bottle tops and/or other small plastic waste materials 

Scissors 

Paint brushes 

Coloured and gold paint (if you haven’t got gold, try yellow paint) 

Glue (School/PVA glue) 

Needle and thread/wool or elastic/nylon string or cord 

 

Instructions (will be shared before the Makealong with booked schools for printing or screening) 
 

Please note, the quantities given above are per student - please multiply up according to your group size. Suggestion – why not set a class or home learning activity to collect intricate, patterned or shiny and faceted waste or craft materials around their home to use for the session?
