At My Studio - Wire Jewellery Workshop

Sunday 31st January 10.30-4.30pm. £70

Lunch, homemade cake and tea included.

Create your own unique piece of handmade jewellery using just wire, pliers, your hands and wrapping techniques. Adding glass beads for colour and texture, you’ll experiment with copper wire and the stitching and wrapping techniques I’ll teach you to create different effects, finally bringing all your work together to make your own necklace, which we’ll oxidise to create the charcoal grey finish I use in many of my designs. Your necklace can be long or short, as you choose, with matching earrings too if time allows. Equipment and materials will be provided, including one pair of sterling silver ear hooks to finish your earrings. If you wish to finish your necklace with a sterling silver chain too (instead of ribbon or necklace wire) there will be the option to purchase this on the day for around £7-£9 depending on the length.

This workshop takes place at Spout Brew House, on the first floor, my studio is above this room on the second floor and you’ll be able to visit my studio too.

Spout Brew House, 70 St Edward Street, Leek, ST13 5DL

Gift Option

If you book with this option I will email you a printable voucher (pdf) that you can pop into an envelope and give as a gift, or simply email it on to the recipient. The voucher will have all the information the recipient needs to take part in the workshop. I will also need the recipient's name from you.

If you choose Gift Option - Date to be arranged in 2021 you will receive a pdf voucher as described above. I will then be in touch with you/the recipient with options for dates early in 2021. I have added this option as due to the current uncertainty it's difficult to add more dates to the calendar just yet. I am confident that I will be able to run Covid safe workshops in 2021 - I did in 2020 after all!
