The HANDSHAKE6 group has been collaborating on a fundraising necklace project for a while, and they are excited to share the results!

These necklaces are a collaboration between the group with each participant designing one of the 12 shapes.

There are 4 different pendant options made up of 3 shapes each, plus 4 beautiful cord colours available.

Dimensions: (approx.) 50mm x 50mm

Cord length: 1m

Materials: Powder-coated mild-steel, waxed polyester cord.

All proceeds will go straight to the artists to support costs associated with their final HS6 exhibition at NorthArt, Auckland (such as postage and travel).

 

How to buy a necklace:

Contact any of the following HANDSHAKE6 participants: Amelia Rothwell, Simon Swale, Mia Straka, Maca Bernal, Michelle Wilkinson, Jack Hadley, Nina Van Duijnhoven, Aphra Cheesman, Fran Leitch, Nikki Perry, Susan Videler, Antonia Boyle.

Or message the artists via Instagram @handshake_6

The HANDSHAKE project is about extending and developing the artists’ practices through experimentation. Their Shape-Shifter pendants are a nod to this process.
