Tell me about it

This is a real wow factor class! And you don’t need any experience to take this class. You will create a stunning, timeless bracelet that will be the absolute envy of your friends [unless of course they come too!]

Can I do this class?

Absolutely! This class is for anyone interested in jewellery making and that includes complete novices! So if you are new to this or a repeat offender ;-) no matter what skill level, this one's for you!

What happens?

Our tutor (and CEO) Ellie, will walk you through the process of creating a bracelet from a chain pattern that has its origins in Constantinople in the opulent Byzantine era. You will learn how to create the rings, learn how to ensure they are cleaned up to create a clean and beautiful finish. You will learn how to construct the chain and finish with adding a clasp to create a piece you will never tire of wearing.

Do I need to bring anything?

This class involves a lot of close work, so if you need glasses or an optivisor please bring them with you.

Good dexterity is also essential to this class as you will be working with small rings to create an intricately woven pattern.

Please wear long hair tied up [or bring something to do so], don’t wear open-toed shoes and keep loose-fitting clothing to a minimum.
