How can we help?
Q: Do I need to have jewellery-making experience to participate?

Q: What will I make at the workshop?
By the end of the day participants will have made two complete pieces of jewellery. These can be of the participant’s own design or designs can be provided. Each participant will be provided with 3.5 grams of silver and 10 grams of base metal for incorporation into their designs.
