Love jewellery?
Want to make your own?
Great for that special birthday treat or because its something you have always wanted to try!
Karen's garden studio near Selby is the venue for these sessions which are perfect for beginners and those with a little more experience. On the day you will be carefully guided through the traditional jewellery making skills and tools needed to create and to leave with your own piece of wearable art.
Ensuring individual attention each 1 to 1 or 2 to 1 session, lasts 3 to 4 hours - everyone learns at their own speed! Sessions run by arrangement on a weekday or at the weekend. Gift certificates available.
Each session will start with a health and safety review and as you will be in a workshop environment please dress accordingly - closed toe sensible footwear is essential and long hair must be tied back. If you normally wear glasses for reading don't forget to bring
them with you.
