sarah king: eco plastic jewelry
Susan Lomuto | Mar 23, 2009 | Comments 3
Sarah King uses Bioresin, a new non-toxic resin made from plant cellulose, to create hollow forms that are hand drilled and inlaid with sterling silver. The UK based jeweler, who began her career using gold and silver, started experimenting with the eco plastic in 2000. She hasn’t looked back. There is something decidedly sensual about the way the silver inlays shift the color and translucence of the white resin.
We took our first look at her carved and cast bangles back in 2006. Going across the pond? Take a class with the innovative King and learn how to craft your own Bioresin bangles.
WOW!!! Thanks for this! Beautiful work. I’ve been working with resin for several years now and always enjoy seeing new and innovative techniques. I’ll have to look into this bioresin.
Very interesting. This Bioresin looks very promising. I love working with resin but find the fumes way too toxic to work with it in a home studio. Perhaps Bioresin holds an answer. Will be checking this out. Thanks again Susan for being on the cutting edge of Art and fine craft and sharing you finds with us.
