Love(ly) Jewellery

Friday February 10th 2012 at 9.45am - 2.45pm

Impress your Valentine, or just yourself, with a variety of jewellery items loosely themed around hearts.

This one is a little bit like building blocks - we'll learn a few techniques, then apply them to different jewellery situations. You get to choose colour schemes, beads, finished size, etc, so what you make will be unique to your own style.

It's an excuse to have a go and take home some new earrings, a necklace, or an intricately beaded pendant / brooch, which you can wear at any time!

Suitable for all, including beginners. Those with more experience will have the chance to try more challenging work.
