Beading/Jewellery workshop

Beading/Jewellery making

Come and learn the basics of beading/jewellery making. It is creative, fun and you can actually wear the things you make and they make wonderful gifts.

You can make your own earings, pendants, necklace, bracelet or key ring or a star decoration. You can make one or all. The choice is yours.

You will learn -

   * How to use basic hand tools such as straight and round nose pliers

   * Open and close jump rings and create simple wire loops - both vital skills needed in many jewellery projects

   * Use tiger tail to make necklaces and crimping

   * What is the difference between a head pin and an eye pin?

   * What are findings?

All materials, including beads, are supplied.

If you have any special beads at home that you don't know what to do with, you are welcome to bring them with you and we can put our creative caps on and help you create a special necklace, bracelet or something.

You will be given a bag to carry your goodies home.
