Gloucester Activities
Spend the day immersing yourself in learning a new skill with guest tutor Jo Richards of Faye Benjamin Jewellery.
With a few simple techniques, in just one day, you can turn Silver Clay from a squishy little lump into solid silver jewellery and have something beautiful to take home. It really is amazing!
This workshop is suitable for beginners and will give you an introduction to Silver Clay and also for those wishing to develop their skills further.
You will have plenty of time to explore the material, get tips and advice, and create your own pieces of jewellery. You will have the option to add a touch of sparkle and set a cubic zirconia in one of your pieces.
Silver Clay can be cut, shaped and textured with ease – a wonderful way to create your own unique pendant, charm or drop earrings – depending on the size of your pieces there is usually enough for more than one go! Make a pendant or two, or a pendant and a pair of drop earrings, some people will make bracelet charms – the choice is yours!
The skills you learn in this workshop will enable you to continue creating after you leave – the tutor will have starter kits available to purchase if you wish to make more at home.
Note: Working with Silver Clay is generally very safe. However, please take note of the following requirements for the day:
  • Long hair must be tied back
  • Don’t wear trailing scarves or anything fluffy as they are attracted to clay!
  • Wear closed-toe sturdy shoes

female Women-owned

Launched in 2014, Lechlade Craft Barn was created by Karen Holland and is based in an old stone barn at Karen’s Cotswold home in the beautiful market town of Lechlade-on-Thames. Lechlade is on the borders of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire not far from Cirencester, Burford and Swindon. The barn is full of character and inspiration, a perfect environment to get crafty!
Karen wanted to share her passion for crafting with others and starting with just 3 or 4 different workshops the demand for more crafting soon increased. Led by Karen and her team of talented tutors there is a wide range of affordable craft workshops to choose from such as crochet, mosaics, lampshade making, block printing, silversmithing, bookbinding, lino cutting, stained glass, pyrography, silver clay, and much more.
All workshops are aimed at beginners and upwards – whether you’re exploring a craft for the first time or topping up existing skills, each workshop is fun and relaxed. Craft your way to happiness with a craft barn workshop or one of the kits available to make at home.
Crafty Parties are a great way to spend fun time with friends or family celebrating a birthday or hen party. Spend a couple of hours or a whole day, even those non-crafty friends enjoy themselves!
Karen has been making things since a small child. At primary school she made a needle case for the Christmas Bazaar, bought it herself and is still using it 50 years later! Having learned how to knit, crochet, and sew at a young age, Karen was making her own clothes by the age of 11.
We all have busy lives, families and work commitments that all take priority. During the Pandemic we found crafting the perfect boost needed for everyone's wellbeing and we should be giving ourselves a little 'me' time to unwind. What better way to do it than crafting!
You're never too old to learn a new skill. Karen has just taught her mother to crochet at the age of 84!
