Course programme
An all day sterling silver workshop suitable for those with some experience of working with wire - as long as you've used a pair of round nosed pliers to turn eyeloops before you'll be fine, I'll take you through everything step by step!
This workshop will teach you how to make sterling silver chains that you will then use to create your own unique piece of jewellery. You will also be taught how to make your own findings such as head pins, earwires and clasps, and will use semi-precious and lampwork beads in your designs if you wish. You will also take home with you an illustrated booklet covering the points discussed during the day.
The price includes practise wire, sterling silver wire in various gauges and £5 worth of good quality beads, both lampwork and semi-precious. Equipment and refreshments are provided but please bring your own lunch!
Only 6 places available to ensure that everyone gets individual attention.
Under 16s need to be accompanied by a paying adult.
