About Jamie Bunce, Revival Homewares
I am a designer and maker of 3D printed sustainable homewares. Using recycled and biodegradable materials my focus is to create beautiful and useful items for the home that are delicate to our environment and evoke a nostalgia of various 20th century eras.
At The Museum Of The Home late opening night I will setup a printer that will be creating specially commissioned Christmas baubles that will be available to purchase on the night. I will also be around on the evening to answer questions on my practice and how I try to be as environmentally conscious and sustainable as possible, as well as any technical questions about the operation of the printer.
