Encoding with Recyclables (Ages 16+)

  • Cannery Arts Centre Norseman Road Esperance, WA, 6450 Australia (map)

Join SICK AF artist Melissa Cameron for a hands-on workshop exploring material reuse, code, and contemporary jewellery making techniques. This free workshop is presented in partnership with Art on the Move, offering a rare opportunity to work with a travelling artist whose practice brings contemporary art directly into regional communities.

Melissa’s practice uses pre-existing plastic bottle lids with centres cut out to encode climate change messages into binary language. Each letter of the English alphabet is translated into eight codes — represented by eight bottle tops — allowing words and phrases to be tracked through colour, repetition and pattern. Participants will work word-by-word to create vibrant, jewel-like hanging works that communicate hidden messages through material and form.

Working alongside the artist, participants will be guided through simple but effective techniques including wire stripping, hole-punching plastic and wire twisting. Each participant will create their own finished artwork to take home.

This workshop is suitable for ages 16+ and is limited to 15 participants.

Date: Saturday 14 March
Time: 1–3.30pm (2.5 hours)
Cost: Free
What to bring: Please bring your collected plastic bottle tops
