A Week of Jewellery Making  
These will be ideal breaks for anyone interested learning the techniques to design and make their own jewellery, whether you are a complete beginner (in which case we will take you through all the basics) or a little more experienced but wanting to expand into chain making, wire wrapping etc or just want the time to yourself to do your own thing at the workshops, you will spend the week learning to make beautiful jewellery and take many wonderful pieces home with you. 9 projects teaching you the following skills: making your own findings, making earrings, wire wrapping, byzantine chain, wire rings, circular netting stitch, spiral rope stitch and more.
Introduction to Chainmail Jewellery
This two day workshop has been developed for complete beginners or those who have maybe tried chainmail but found it difficult. We will be making a number of projects based on European 4 in 1 weave and Byzantine chain (we'll be touching on other weaves during the workshops). We will be mainly using copper and aluminium rings but will complete one project in silver (additional materials will be available for purchase). We will also cover making your own findings and wire wrapping.

Tiara and Wedding Jewellery  
This is a two day workshop for complete beginners, whether you want to make a tiara for your own wedding or a friends or maybe you would like to learn how to make them as a hobby or business. You will design and make 1 - 2 tiaras using silver or gold plated wire, wonderful beads or even semi-precious stone chips (if you already have an idea of colours etc you can send a sample in advance and I will make sure we have matching beads). We will also be making a matching set of jewellery (to your own design) either to go with a wedding dress or maybe to match another outfit or perhaps as a gift for your bridesmaid. 

Introduction to Jewellery Making Workshop
This two day workshop has been developed for complete beginners to jewellery making or those who have maybe dabbled and would like to go a little further. We will cover the basics, types of tools, how to use them, different types of beads, using crimps, sterling v silver plated, making your own earwires and findings, lots of different earrings, illusion necklaces, attaching clasps and lots more. Although project kits will be provided please feel free to bring any beads you would like to incorporate into your designs (additional materials will be available for purchase).
