Jewellery Making Kits

1/5/2020

0 Comments

 
For the most part, I keep occasional tool kits around to have available for my students if they choose to buy one so that they can get started working at home as soon as they've finished a class with me, but as there are no 'in person' classes at the moment, only online ones, I thought i'd offer the kits i currently have here online....

I have 2 different beginners introduction to Kumihimo (Japanese braiding) kits - making a fun bracelet - with, or without beads (if you're new to braiding, it's easier to start without beads)...
Kumihimo is a great activity to do anywhere - and this starter braid is fun and easy to learn at home for anyone 8-88!

I also have in stock; -
  • Beginners beadwork kits - everything you need to get started with stitched beadwork / beadweaving is included, with or without some beads to get you started. Including links to some beginner spatterns...
  • Solid acrylic rollers for metal clay (or polymer clay) - solid acrylic, with decorative bubbles enclosed within it
  • Sets of Pin Vice, plus drills and burrs  - great for working with silver clay or wax carving
  • Silver clay starter sets - including all the tools you  might need to get started working with silver cfay

Made in Clerkenwell - Craft Central Open Studios
Clerkenwell / Farringdon, London
 
11-14 May 2017


I am excited again be taking part in Made in Clerkenwell from my studio in Craft Central, opening my workshop to visitors and exhibiting my latest work.

Unfortunately due to other commitments I won't be able to be open for the whole weekend, but I WILL be open to visitors for the day and evening on Friday 12 May - do come by and see my new work if you're near the area! I am in studio 36 (third floor) in the St Johns Square building.

There will as usual be an amazing selection of artists, craftspeople and designers all exhibiting over the two Craft Central buildings and the three gallery spaces, so the event is always well worth a visit! Come along to browse for inspiration, to shop for unique handmade gifts, or to hunt down a summer treat for yourself....

To register for free entry to the event - do go to -

This is likely to be the last Made in Clerkenwell event that I am part of, due to various upcoming changes, but I hope you'll be able to join me on Friday 11 May for what promises to be another exciting event.
