Jewellery Making Experience Days: This jewellery making class is the perfect
Mother's Day gift, and a wonderful way to spend some quality time
together being creative.
During the 1.
5 hour glass charm design
workshop, you will learn the basics of working with glass to make
delicate, colourful beads.
After learning about the different
coloured glass and their properties, you will spend half an hour
designing your own bead.
Once you have finished designing your jewellery, it will be made in
front of you, using a blowtorch.
Anyone over the age of 14 can even
get involved in this part of the jewellery making! As a special
treat for mothers and daughters, a duplicate of both designs will
be made for you, so that you can have your own design as well as
your mothers/daughters on the tube bracelet that you select during
the experience.
You will begin the jewellery making experience
with a short talk on how the glass charm beads are made, the
different colours of glass, and their properties.
Moving on to the
practical stuff, you will then sped half an hour designing your
very own glass charm bead, so get creative and make a bead that
reflects you! After the beads have been designed, they will be
created in front of you, with a blowtorch.
Those over the age of 14
can try making their own bead.
Before leaving, you will choose the
coloured tube bracelet that you would like to attach your bead
to.
As the beads need to be kilned, you will not be able to take them
with you on the day, however they will be sent to you in the post,
on your chosen colour bracelet.
You will also receive a duplicate
of each others designed bead, as an extra special memento of a
wonderful day!
