Workshops

If you think you’re no good at doing something creative, think again. I definitely believe that we all have an artistic ability within us… we just have to find it. You’ll be surprised at what you can achieve with a little practice. Check out my latest blog about creativity here on the website.

I run these workshops not only to learn a skill, but also for you to have some ‘time out’ where you can come, relax and enjoy yourself. Tell your friends and come along together – they may enjoy it too! There’s never any pressure, and it is very therapeutic.

So, on to the workshops!

Pearl Knotting

Learn the traditional art of knotting pearls on silk using freshwater cultured pearls.

You will learn the traditional technique, how to start and finish a bracelet, and how to attach a sterling silver clasp and Swarovski crystal charm. You will leave with a gorgeous cultured pearl bracelet which you have made yourself. Everything is supplied for you including refreshments of tea, coffee, biscuits and fresh fruit.

There are only 4 – 5 people per class to ensure plenty of one to one tuition. A great morning being creative!

Dates: Please contact me if yourself and 3 or 4 friends would like to come as a group to learn pearl knotting. It’s a great workshop for friends to enjoy to celebrate a birthday, as a gift, or to do something a little different.

Cost: £45 per person.

A £10 per person non refundable deposit is required please to secure the date, and balance of £35 in advance. Refunds (£35) for cancellations – only up to 14 days before the event.

Re-design your old jewellery

Bring along your old and unworn beaded necklaces and bracelets and make something new. You will learn how to start and finish strung necklaces using beading wire, how to attach clasps, the basics of wire work and attaching charms and chains. You will also learn how beads are wire wrapped to make secure connections. Have a go at designing and creating something unique which will be unique to you.

The cost includes refreshments of tea, coffee biscuits and fresh fruit. You will also have access to all tools, wires, headpins, jump rings etc, and selected chains and beads (some pre-loved… think sustainability!)
