At My Studio - Haberdashery and Wire Jewellery

4th July 2021, 1pm-5pm

Tea and homemade cake included

Transform vintage sewing box treasures into elegant jewellery. I’ll teach you how to make a necklace and matching earrings using wire, upcycled haberdashery, glass beads and my wire stitching technique. First we’ll practice stitching with wire and then we will go on to make finished pieces, you can expect to make something similar to the jewellery pictured, though the bead drops on these designs are optional. We’ll finish the jewellery with sterling silver findings and chain, which can be oxidised, as shown here, or left shiny if you prefer. Materials are included, and include one sterling silver 18 inch chain and one pair of sterling silver hooks, additional findings can also be bought on the day so you can finish any extra designs you make too.

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!
