How to safely dismantle electronic devices and make stunning jewellery with the components inside.
This beginner-friendly workshop will transform and reveal the hidden world of intricate circuitry that powers our daily lives and inspire you to think about the impact of technology.
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn:

Suzon offers an active reflection on the production process of electronic devices, planned obsolescence, disparity of goods, sustainability and recycling. Every component in devices has minerals that have taken billions of years to form and that have been mined. 3 in 10 people globally do NOT have electricity, many of them work in those mines.
This is why it's so important to recycle our old electronics and turn them into unique jewellery you can wear everyday!
