Ayana Jade: "A Multi-sensory Experience with jade".

Ayana Jade: "A Multi-sensory Experience with jade" at "In Body & Mind: A Creative Health Micro Festival" at Central St. Martins, London.

An art wellbeing activity that merges the mood enhancing properties of jadeite gemstones with the power of touch and sight and the emotive aspects of jewellery. The cool, natural green and white hues of grade a jadeite promote feelings of tranquillity and balance. The neutral greys and warm deep reddish purple, reddish brown with golden flakes gives the ambiance of clouds and seasonal changes. This might be both energising and calming for those that find comfort in certain season’s e.g. golden colours of autumn or grey rain clouds.

Introduction: A brief introduction to jadeite and its colours (cool, neutral and warm)
and how these colours can help you connect with the present moment.

Design & Colour Exploration: Small, rough and polished jadeite pebbles and beads will be availed to arrange jewellery patterns on a white cloth using the smooth, cool surface of jadeite stones.

Ayana’s own Jewellery creation:  Earrings, necklace, pendants, bracelets and charms made with jadeite set in recycled gold and silver will be on a mini stand to for people to see and draw inspiration from.
