November ONLINE Jewellery Make-Along Workshop

Online Jewellery Make-Along LIVE Workshop - SATURDAY 21 NOVEMBER
£25.00

LIVE ZOOM WORKSHOP WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY 21 NOVEMBER FROM 10AM - 1PM (UK TIME)

Open to both beginner and more adventurous jewellery-makers, this is a hands-on live Zoom workshop where you will be making, reworking or repairing your own piece of costume jewellery along with Nicole.

If making a piece using a kit purchased from us, on the workshop, Nicole will guide you through the step-by-step process of how to construct the piece and help you troubleshoot any problems.

If making a piece using your own materials and components, Nicole will be on hand to advise you on any design suggestions, or any construction techniques and tips that will help you to realise your idea.

The main purpose of running this as a live workshop is to allow you to ring-fence this time and indulge yourself in a creative and rewarding activity for a few hours.

You will get the most of this workshop if you come prepared with a basic kit of jewellery-making tools and some jewellery-making materials — either sourced from us as a kit, or sourced elsewhere. You can head to Nicole’s Amazon storefront to see a list of some recommended starting tools and jewellery supplies.

  • How to repair ladders in knitting

  • How to invisibly repair a hole in your knitwear (big or small) — two methods

  • How to source yarn for your repair that matches your garment exactly

  • The answer to any question you may have about invisibly repairing holes in your knitwear!

After the workshop, you will be sent:

I look forward to seeing you there!
