Location
Full address details and directions are provided by e-mail with your booking confirmation.
In person classes are held at Penny’s dedicated workshop space in Camden Town, London NW1. The space is just two minutes walk from Camden Town tube station, or equally from Camden Road over ground station. Not far also from Kings Cross / St Pancras / Euston main line rail stations and busses 24, 27, 29, 31, 46, 134, 168, 214, 253 and 274 all stop very close by.
Timing
Most classes start at 10am, but check your booking confirmation for full details of the time and date of your class session/s as this does sometimes vary, and can be altered to suit you for bespoke days.
On the Day
For silver / metalwork, silver clay, wax carving and electroforming sessions; - do wear closed shoes and older clothes for your workshop session for health and safety.
If you wear reading or other glasses – do bring these with you – a lot of jewellery making involves small details and the better you can see the work, the easier it is!
Magnifiers are available for your use on the day if needed.
You are very welcome to take photos and make additional notes during the class if you wish. You will also receive printed and/or digital copies of information handouts to accompany your session and act as a reminder of skills / techniques / steps to complete your projects when you return home.
Bring any ideas, inspiration, photos or pictures that you might have collected with you.
You do not need to bring any materials or tools unless you'd particularly like to - all materials and tools needed are provided.
