Explore and develop your love of beads in our one day class with jeweller and bead enthusiast Jane Woodham.
You will be introduced to the simple yet effective techniques of making your own jewellery findings in your own style.

Join our tutor Jane who has a passion for transforming beads into amazing silver jewellery.
Bring your own beads (need to have a minimum 1mm  size hole) and transform them into wearable silver jewellery with Jane’s expert guidance and you’ll have enough silver to make a small collection of finished items to take home with you (finished items depend on what you choose to make).
You will be supplied with some sterling silver sheet, wire and all the tools needed for the day. Extra beads and silver can be purchased on the day.
