Wire wrapped jewellery
Why buy expensive jewellery when you can design and make your own beautiful pieces? In this workshop, you’ll learn techniques to create at least one pair of earrings and a bracelet using various beads, Swarovski pearls and crystals, plus high-quality hardware. You may also bring any broken jewellery you may have and we’ll help you incorporate it into your designs.
All materials included plus an instruction and resource list for you to take home. No previous jewellery making experience required.

Silver filigree jewellery
Previously, if you wanted to make silver jewellery, you’d have to sign up for a lengthy silver smithing course. Now, thanks to ‘precious metal clay,’ a pliable material embedded with microscopic particles of silver, you can create stunning works in a single evening! When the jewellery is fired, the clay burns away and you’re left with nearly 100% pure silver.
In this workshop, you’ll create a gorgeous silver filigree ring PLUS your choice of a pendant or a pair of earrings. After the workshop, we’ll have the jewellery expertly fired and polished, then return it to you by post in a lovely gift box.
All materials, including precious metal clay, specialist tools, jewellery findings, firing, polishing and postage charges are included. No previous jewellery-making experience needed.
