Workshops for children
These creative workshops introduce children from 8 - 15 yrs to the very basics of jewellery making. Children will learn how to measure, cut, hammer and solder silver enabling them to create beautiful, personal jewellery! They will be using pattern and letter stamps, a rolling mill, hammers, saws, files and a blowtorch (fully supervised!) The finished pieces will be polished up by the end of the session and ready to take home.
Prices are either for one child or a child plus an adult. Kids can come alone or accompanied by an adult, 10yrs and under will need to be supervised (numbers are limited, so one adult per child). If the adult wishes to make a piece of jewellery too, they will be charged at a reduced rate. If the adult is coming to help their child and not make anything there is no extra cost.
These classes are very popular and fill up quickly but I do get cancellations so let me know if you would like to be added to the waiting list.
To book, please email me.
