Johari Jewellery design competition by the Edinburgh College of Art

At the start of December the students at the jewellery department of the Edinburgh College of Art submitted some incredible designs and ideas to be used for the next Johari Jewellery collection.

We were totally overwhelmed by the hugely inspiring ideas on how to use authentic African materials in some stunning designs with a real Johari flavour.

As a next step Jenny Deans, jewellery lecturer at the Edinburgh College of Art, will visit Kenya a few weeks in March to work with Sheila, who runs the Johari Jewellery Programme in Nairobi, and the Seed of Hope graduates on finetuning the designs.

With the initial successes of designs and prototypes through combining ideas and creativity from Scottish and Kenyan designers we feel very excited about the new Johari Jewellery collection to be launched early smmer 2008!

Help Japan says...

It's all too simple for a person to look away and forget the sadness they saw on a disaster-stricken families' faces. I find myself unable to turn off the TV and forget those faces--they stick with me, weighing uncomfortably on my mind. So many Japanese children are left without their parents, and so many parents left without means to support their families anymore. They need support from the rest of the world. Not all of us are fortunate enough to be able to spare the money to donate, but any contribution that you could make would be appreciated! If you can't donate, please keep Japan in your thoughts and pass the word around!
