Jewelry Making

Art & Making · about 45 minutes

You work with wire, findings, and trays of glass and stone beads, using three pliers that do most of the work for you. The session teaches the wrapped loop, which is the one join that holds everything else together, and then you build a pair of earrings or a pendant around it. The component trays stay open; take what you like the look of.

Suits adults and children from about ten up, mostly because of the fine motor work and the pliers. People who arrive announcing that they are not creative tend to leave wearing their own work. Everything is supplied and there is nothing to buy in advance.
