Flourish With The Right Tools
At Hamilton & Inches, we believe anyone and everyone should be allowed to discover craft. We are incredibly proud to support the Flourish Jewellery Project, an Edinburgh organisation who aim to not only empower women through the art of making, but shine light on the importance of craft and how it engages with underrepresented and disadvantaged communities.
Founded by Jessica Howarth and Lisa Arnott, both with extensive histories in making and social enterprise, the Flourish Jewellery Project was set up during the COVID-19 pandemic to enable women recovering from trauma from domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction all to discover their creativity through making. Working with a variety of organisations who support women, Lisa and Jessica created a series of outreach jewellery sessions, introducing and enabling the women to make rings, pendants and bangles from silver.
For these participants, being part of this project has provided a space for them to dare to dream and have a moment in their week where their creativity is realised. Find out more about this incredible project below.
“The Flourish Jewellery Project has made me find myself. I’m shocked at who I was when I first started coming as to who I am now."
