Peter Chang's Amazing Bracelets!

In his workshop in Glasgow Peter Chang makes spectacular jewellery, like a bracelet he made from a mix of bought acrylics and old beads, map pinheads and part of a broken shop-sign. Large but light, comfortable to wear but robust, his bracelets are like sculpture that you can put your hand through. Dazzling in their saturated colour, they are reminiscent of exotic plants and creatures from the sea or science fiction.
After sketching a design, Chang starts with a polystyrene base that he carves into shape. He then painstakingly covers the surface using mosaic and lacquer techniques, faceting and tweezering tiny pieces of coloured acrylic into position.
