Saturday Meet the Maker Events
Join the Bluecoat Display Centre every other Saturday for informal conversations and demonstrations by local makers. These events are FREE. Booking is not required, just pop into the gallery to gain a valuable insight into the work of these talented makers.
On Saturday 7 September 2024 Bluecoat Display Centre will be joined by Kate Stewart of Factory Floor Jewels, who will be chatting informally and demonstrating her jewellery making techniques.
Most of Kate’s designs begin with scrap or waste materials gathered from local engineering workshops. She is inspired by a fascination with the engineering and marine history of Liverpool, her engineer father, and the enduring strength and beauty of industrial materials and processes. Each Factory Floor Jewels collection features an eclectic mix of repurposed materials, including recycled silver, steel, brass and copper, creating jewellery that is both captivating and versatile.
Kate creates pieces that have a timeless look, with clean lines and classic silhouettes that never go out of style. Factory Floor Jewels pieces tell a story and are always conversation starters designed to make you stand out from the crowd.
