Workshop Description
Come along and be inspired by creative jeweller Jan Donaldson, who will explore the idea of turning old spoons into interesting and fabulous jewellery you will want to wear!
We love to reuse, repurpose, and preserve old things, so making a new object from old is irresistible! Jan will demonstrate the techniques we will need to assemble our creations.
Jan to provide numerous materials from her collection.
Participants can bring any old cutlery (EPNS preferably – spoons, teaspoons, even forks).
