Jewelry Crafting Experience @ Barnard Griffin

Join us for a fun and simple learning experience where you’ll have the opportunity to experiment, play, and appreciate the process of jewelry making!

During this workshop, we’ll explore the art of jewelry creation using common materials found in the market, such as gold or silver steel beading wire, various sizes of gold-filled or silver crimps, small beads, and gold-filled or sterling silver wire for earrings and clasps. We’ll also delve into the qualities, sizes, and original uses of these materials, empowering you to break the rules and use them in imaginative and unique ways.

Whether you’re interested in crafting earrings, necklace, or both, in silver or gold, the choice is yours! Select your favorite beads and let your imagination run wild as you design your own stunning jewelry piece.

The best part? You’ll proudly exclaim, “Yes, I made this!” Wear your beautiful creation with confidence, showcasing your unique style and artistic expression to the world.

You’ll leave with not only a beautiful piece of jewelry but also a newfound sense of accomplishment and creative inspiration.
