'Entanglement'
Victoria Sewart Gallery has collaborated with The Cornish Seal Sanctuary’ with a project called ‘Entanglement’. They are creating some retail bracelets and pendants made from the ghost nets alongside a collection of ‘art jewellery’ created by all the staff at Victoria Sewart Contemporary Jewellery Gallery all to raise awareness and highlight the issues of the ghost nets entangling the seals and damaging our seas and the marine life. The exhibition is on at Falmouth Poly from Monday 15th -20th July, and afterwards the retail pieces will be on sale in the seal Sanctuary’s gift shop with proceeds from the sales going to the charity.
