It’s coming up to Christmas – and we have to address the perennial problem: what to give your loved ones for Christmas. Jewellery is the solution. In this one-day workshop we will utilise the skills you have developed in the Beginners Class and apply them to making gifts, with an emphasis on earrings. There will be a range of materials available to enhance your work – silver, cord, old coins, beach stones. We will be making sterling silver loops or hooks. You should complete several pairs and have Christmas gifts for your friends and family. Please bring any beads or other materials you would like to include in your earrings. You must have completed the Beginner's workshop to enrol for this class. Returning students are welcome! Remember to bring some lunch and to wear shoes that cover your feet. No jandals, sandals, slides or open toes. This is for your safety in the workshop.
