About this Event
BioJewels – Jewelry Making with Bio-Based Materials 4-hour workshop · BioLab Lisboa · April 18th, 15:00–19:00
Discover how to transform natural, bio-based materials into beautiful wearable pieces. In this hands-on workshop, you'll explore colour, texture and form while creating small translucent elements, textured composites and unique artistic jewels.
No experience needed — just curiosity and a love for making.
What you'll make
Each participant will leave with a small collection of unique, bio-based jewelry pieces — pendants, earrings or small sculptural amulets — made from custom biomaterial recipes, plus material samples to continue experimenting at home.
What you'll learn
✔ How bio-based materials work and their creative potential
✔ How to prepare simple bio-based mixtures and composites
✔ Colouring, texturing and patterning with natural elements
✔ Shaping, cutting, sanding and refining small components
✔ Assembling finished wearable pieces
