Sustainability
Sometimes I wonder if there's enough stuff in this world already, but then I think there's plenty of space for things that're made thoughtfully, slowly and artfully. So if I'm going to create I make sure I choose sustainable options where possible! Here's some steps I've taken:
-
Using bio-resin rather than resin
-
Using natural dyes which may fade but are less polluting than synthetic dyes
-
Using recycled silver as much as possible
-
Using recycled/ biodegradable/ recyclable packaging
-
Changing some of my processes such as using citric acid pickle after soldering
-
Buying tools second hand
-
I'm in the process of switching my website away from Wix to a more ethical platform
-
Using Royal Mail for postage as they have the lowest reported carbon emissions per parcel and have better pay and working conditions
If you have suggestions on how I can improve my practice please let me know!
