Caroline and Joanne, the lovely ladies of Smash Palace, make gorgeous jewellery from broken china and for the first three days of April, they’re gifting their services to Christchurch.
They can’t give you back what you have lost, but they can rescue some of the fragments of the legacy that your mother, and her mother before her, handed down to you. Salvage whatever pieces of porcelain you like and they will rework them for you into a pendant or a brooch, a genuine keepsake to hand on just as they were intended to be.
When: 10am–4.30pm, Friday 1, Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 April
Where: 169 Knowles St, St Albans, Christchurch
What to bring: retrieved china and your stories
Spread the word to anyone you know who may have links with Christchurch. If you’d like to know more or you’re able to help in any way, email smashpalace3@gmail.com or check out the details on their Facebook page.
what a sweet gesture ladies!
Thank you! I am definitely keen to come, with the remains of my last painted swallow plate…
Fabulous idea! I’m on the wrong side of Cook Straight for this one but I hope it goes so well!
