In this simple introduction to jewellery making, you'll create a pair of gemstone dangle earrings using sterling silver wire and genuine gemstones or freshwater pearls. You'll shape and assemble your earrings by hand - learning to form your own sterling silver ear wires and wire-wrap gem beads or pearls. 

Each booking includes one project kit for one adult or one adult and child to share. A second child may be added for a small materials fee to cover additional supplies.

Use the techniques you learn in this workshop to continue making your own wire-wrapped jewellery at home with only a few simple tools, or just have fun making a pretty pair of earrings to take home.

Who it's for: This beginner-friendly workshop is perfect for anyone wanting a relaxed, approachable introduction to jewellery making with no torch involved. Suitable for adults or teens with parent/guardian supervision. Children are welcome to participate as designers, with an adult assisting with wire wrapping steps.

Date & Time: May 10th  10:00am - 10:45am

Location: 213 John St. in Pontypool

Includes: Instruction + all materials to make your first pair, including sterling silver wire for ear wires and wrapping, plus a selection of genuine gemstones and freshwater pearls. Materials for additional earrings are typically $10 - $15 / pair.

Care information

To keep your jewellery looking it’s best:

*Avoid direct contact with perfume, body lotion, hair spray or other chemicals - allow perfume or lotion to dry before wearing.

*Never expose jewellery to household cleaning products.

*Remove your jewellery before bathing, showering, swimming or entering a hot tub.

*Remove before sleeping.

*Remove jewellery when participating in physical activities (cleaning/gardening/sports)

*Gently wipe off excess oils or perspiration with a soft cloth.

*Store in a tightly sealed plastic bag (ziploc) or box to minimize tarnish.

How to remove tarnish:

*Light tarnish may be removed with a gentle wipe with a polishing cloth, followed by washing using a toothbrush with dish detergent & water. Rinse well & pat dry.

*Heavier tarnish (on jewellery without gemstones) may be removed with a dip cleaner & thoroughly washed using a toothbrush with dish soap & water. Rinse well & pat dry.

*Never expose pearls or porous gemstones to dips or other chemical cleaners.

Made to Order!

As an independant maker, it's hard to keep every piece (in all sizes & colour variations) in stock at all times.
In the case that an item is not in stock, I am happy to make one to your specifications just for you!

Please contact me to let me know which piece you would like, as well as the size / colour variation, or any other requests you may have. I'll let you know the lead time you can expect (this can vary depending on my current projects) and get to the bench ASAP!
