Resin and Button Jewellery- Finished Pieces

Here are some lovely examples of finished pieces from the Resin and Button Jewellery workshops held on Saturday 5th March at Manchester Craft and Design Centre.

From the top - Rachel's button jewellery collection, June's resin pendant, Lucy's resin brooch.

All the outcomes were fantastic and really personal to the maker. I had a lovely day with all the ladies involved - thank you!

Over the next few months we have hen parties galore! Is everyone getting married this summer?! Doing a workshop can be a great way to kick off your Hen Party celebrations, and you also get to make something to wear for that inevitable night out. Perhaps something to match your 'L' plates and sash?! We will throw is some bubbly and nibbles to make sure its a real party. So do get in touch if you have any events coming up that you would like to celebrate with us. mail@magpieartsworkshops.com

Also watch out for some more workshops coming up at the equally lovely Platform Gallery in Clitheroe. Details and booking coming very soon.

That's all for now!

Shiny Shiny Silver!

Some more lovely silver jewellery made at our Beginners Silver Jewellery Course last Saturday. Well done Susie and Claire! Susie has already looked into buying her own equipment to carry on with at home, I am impressed! The next one of this course is on Sunday 5th December so book now if you're the next budding jewellery designer!

Resin Jewellery

Yesterday our Resin Jewellery workshop kicked off with the first session. We had a lovely bunch of ladies attending both the morning and afternoon session, I had such a fun day! Everyone brought their own small objects to set into the resin, from mountains of buttons to teeth (yes really!) Now we've just got to wait until next week to pop them out of the moulds and see how they all turn out. Exciting! I'll keep you posted.....

New Vintage!

Here's some of the lovely vintage inspired pieces that were made at our Reclaimed Jewellery workshop at Saturday. I am hugely impressed!.... and also rather jealous that I don't own them all! We will be running this session again soon, watch this space.

In the meantime our whole weekends programme for the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair is up and available to buy now here...
