Join us for a relaxed and creative day, exploring techniques and making three unique pieces of jewellery.
The day will be a fabulous introduction to working with copper-based wire and creating stunning pieces of jewellery.
After a quick introduction into the properties of craft wire, you will be guided through making a stitched pendant, a knitted cuff and a crocheted bangle using copper-based enamelled wires and a variety of beads, all finished off with very basic jewellery fasteners.
The workshop requires no experience of working with wire or jewellery making, but a knowledge of very basic knitting and crocheting a chain would be beneficial. You are guaranteed to leave at the end of the day proudly wearing your pieces and with the skills and knowledge to carry on creating at home.
Don’t miss out on a fabulous relaxed fun day out, as well as the opportunity to increase your creative skills.
Please note there is a £8 material charge payable on the day.
What to expect
Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all and provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors plus the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas and experiences. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.
Arrive in time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning your session at the appointed time. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a homemade 2 course lunch. The main course will be delicious but don’t overdo it as the puds are usually worth waiting for! There will be a further afternoon break with the most wonderful cakes from Roots & Fruits Home Bakery, a North Yorkshire micro-bakery producing handmade bread and cakes. All food and refreshments are included in the price of the workshop.
Finish time is given as a target – there are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.
We aim for your day to be a real treat… of course you could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make it a day being looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!
What you’ll need to bring with you
All materials will be provided but feel free to bring along any beads you would particularly like to use.
