Recycled Silver Patterned Round Brooch Workshop (suitable for beginners)

from £150.00

Duration approx. 2.5 hours, longer if two of you are attending together

A brooch is an excellent accessory and very versatile. The effortless way to perk up any outfit, jacket, coat, hat or scarf.

In this session you will create your own recycled silver brooch, with a double pin. You will have examples to look at and be inspired by, helping you to create your own unique design. I will demonstrate every step, and you will have a trial run on some copper before starting on the silver. I can make your copper sample into a brooch too so you will have two at the end of the session.

The brooch/brooches will feature your own design and have a lovely curved edge giving them a nice depth. It will have a satin finish which helps to highlight your chosen design, and a double pin fastening on the back. A double pin is better for the clothes you attach it too as it spreads the weight out evenly between the two, and it also hands much better than a single pin.

At the end of the session you will receive a gift bag. Inside there will be a quality recycled and recyclable gift box to put your brooches in, and a care card and cleaning cloth to help keep it looking its best.

Workshops must be attended within 12 months of workshop voucher purchase.

Come with make brooches with your friend, a 15% discount on sessions for two people coming together, offer applied automatically.
