Additional information

What you need to bring:

  • An apron (or old clothes)

  • Notepad (blank page) or sketchbook

  • Pen and pencil

  • Any jewellery that you have made before

  • Textures such as skeleton leaves, fabric off cuts, textured paper

What to wear

Please make sure that you have a hairband to tie your hair back and do not wear floaty skirts, really loose fitting clothes, scarves or open toe shoes, as we will be in a workshop environment. We will use torches and some acids, which can damage clothes so an apron or pinny is recommended as well as remembering not to wear your favourite jeans!

If you have a design in mind

If you already have a design in mind please contact Beccy to discuss the viability and what you might need to purchase to make it.
