Elizabeth Jones

Elizabeth is a mixed media Artist with over ten years experience designing and facilitating creative crafts Workshops for Private Members Clubs and businesses. She is a creative freelancer with experience in bespoke wall decoration and table decoration for private clients. 

Elizabeth runs creative Workshops for various African and Caribbean community groups in London, and directed a photoshoot with the Seniors aged 65+. Turning ‘trash’ into ‘treasure’, her rings are physical symbols of the priceless and inspiring knowledge that these Seniors hold, often overlooked by our fast paced and youth-obsessed society.

Elizabeth uses a mixture of ‘African’ wax print fabrics, offcuts from the Harlem Toile designed by Sheila Bridges, broken vintage costume jewellery, and the Afro-British aesthetic this generation created for their UK homes in the 1970s-80s. Many women of this generation used Crochet to make and sell homewares as a way of making extra income for the household.
