JEWELLERY MAKING
Do you love jewellery and are you interested in making a unique piece of your own, that you will be able to take home with you at the end of the workshop, or even wear when you leave ?

Jeweller, Christine Pearson, is going to run a 2 hour workshop on Friday 10th May, between 1000 x 1200, in the Old School Room, Syston Community Centre. The cost is £26.50 per person, and for this you will have the choice of making either a pendant or a pair of earrings, using enamels to decorate them and choosing from different fittings. Christine will bring 2 portable kilns so that you will be able to take your jewellery home with you on the day.

We are limited in the numbers that can do this, so if you are interested please contact me with your membership numbers and email or phone number.

Full payment will be required a couple of weeks before the workshop.

If interested contact: Ghislaine Wood – email: woodlet7@yahoo.co.uk
