Jewelry 101 Workshop & Mini Retreat
Join us for a special day of jewelry making and community learning in a relaxed and beautiful setting, Sunday APRIL 19th 11am-3pm.
Make your own jewellery and craft the necklace and earrings (or bracelet) of your dreams! Whether you love big, bold pieces or delicate charm, both styles are connected by the same basic skills. In this introductory workshop, you'll learn to use essential jewellery materials and pliers for assembly and wire wrapping. Take home your extra materials and tools for more practice, or use them to make basic repairs to jewellery you already own.
Includes comprehensive, fun and interactive jewelry making workshop, your finished creations, a set of three jewellery pliers, a kit of "findings" and assorted beads to make more jewellery, an instruction booklet that covers the basics AND a long table lunch & glass of cider!
