Jewellery from Wire & Beads - Sara Withers

This weekend provides an introduction to using wire and beads to make jewellery. Over the 2 days students will be able to complete earrings, necklaces and simple brooches, all based on the manipulation of wire.

The Course (Two days)
The techniques taught can be achieved with the use of simple tools and materials. They provide a framework for jewellery-making that can be pursued in the home without the need for chemicals, burners or other specialist equipment.
No prior experience of jewellery-making is necessary. It is useful, however, to have some dexterity and good eyesight - or glasses!

Tutor: Sara Withers
Sara produces a range of exquisite jewellery, assembling her own hand crafted beads together with others collected from around the world. Her intricate work can be seen at shows and galleries throughout the country. Sara is the author of several books on the art of bead making and jewellery. Titles include Exotic Beads and Beautiful Beading.
Materials
The cover charge for the two-day course is £10 which includes wires and a selection of beads. Additional beads can be purchased from the tutor if desired or students may prefer to bring their own. Information on suppliers, bead societies and relevant books will be given during the course.
