This workshop (for complete beginners to jewellery making) will teach you to bend, wrap and shape sterling silver wire, and combine it with semi-precious gemstone beads to create a beautiful pair of earrings.
Writing Circle
Have you ever wanted to create more space for your writing practice? Or to write in a less solitary environment?
The intention of this Writing Circle (which is the second of what I hope will become a regular session) is for anyone with an interest in writing (whether that’s creative, fiction, non-fiction, academic, poetry, or any other kind) to give themselves the gift of a couple of hours focused on their craft, among new friends.
Herbal Tea Blending
In this workshop, led by Kate of Time For Me Teas, you’ll learn all about fresh and dried herbal teas, and be guided through the process of blending your own.
Make a Spinner Ring
Spinner rings are hugely popular with those who like their jewellery to make a statement or that they can fidget with! They’re also challenging to make as they are made up of at least two rings, and sometimes three or four. In this workshop we’ll take up the challenge and make your own unique spinner ring.
Make a Silver Pendant
Learn how to make jewellery using sheet metal. This workshop (which is suitable for complete beginners) will help you get to grips with saws and hammers to produce your own pendant from sterling silver.

Journalling
SOLD OUT
Journalling is about giving yourself time to pause. Through the act of ‘writing to yourself’ you can gently examine (and maybe address) some of the stresses, pressures and influences on your life.
During the session I’ll offer some guided questions and you’ll privately write your own answers and further thoughts.

Jewellery Making - Wire & Beads
This workshop (for complete beginners to jewellery making) will teach you to bend, wrap and shape copper and silver plated wire and combine it with beads to create beautiful pieces of jewellery - made by you!
Making Jewellery with Wax
The technique of ‘lost wax casting’ is an ancient way of creating jewellery, where wax models are made, which then melt away in the casting process, leaving a perfect mould in which to pour molten metal.
This workshop will allow you to experiment, using both hard and soft waxes and various different ways of shaping and carving them into pieces of jewellery.
