In this glass jewellery making session, you will discover the various ways to create shiny pieces for yourself or gift giving. You will be working with fused glass supplies as well as mixed media glass. Any fused glass pieces will be fired and glued by myself usually within a week. £33 plus postage for fused glass (or collect from Leyland).
Choose all or one of your favourite of these methods : tack (relief) fusing, full fuse, or mosaic to create:
- 2 Pendants
- 2 Pairs of earrings
- 2 Keyrings
Please note: adding mosaic as an option can take longer, if you are new to both mediums.
*The evening session
It can be flexible if you want to arrive earlier. You may wish to save time focusing on fused glass jewellery without adding the mosaic option.
Wire Wrapped Jewellery Taster Class
3 hours
2pm-5pm: 16 Feb 2025 or email to arrange a booking
Wire wrapped jewellery dates back to 1446 BC found in ancient Egyptian pharaohs' tombs and pyramids. Gold was likely to be the first metal used, but we will be using plated wire.
This is a beautiful, ancient way to add definition and flair to beads and sea glass. We will look at various techniques, in a range of styles and colours of beads and wire to make:
- 1 necklace
- pair of earrings
- 1 key ring
No prior knowledge is required and this workshop is suitable for all levels, but wire wrapping needs a good level of dexterity. All materials and tools are included, but if you have a crystal, you may want to bring it along. Age 14+ £30
