Jewellery Making Experience Days: This jewellery making workshop is a superb introduction to creating unique, beautiful and original glass charm beads. Over the 1.5 hours jewellery making experience, you will learn about bead design, as well as different glass colours and their qualities. You will then have the opportunity to apply your new knowledge by designing your very own bespoke charm, which will be created in front of you. If you are over 14 years old, you will have the opportunity to get hands-on and help with the creation of the bead yourself. The glass charm will be annealed (heated and cooled to harden and set it) in a kiln, and you will receive it - on a preselected bracelet of your choice - in the post after the experience.Once you have been welcomed at the workshop you will attend a class that will discuss the methods used when designing and making the glass charm beads, and the different properties of various coloured glasses. Next up is the practical part - you will spend about 30 minutes designing your very own totally original glass charm bead. This will then be made in front of you (or with your help, if you are over 14) using a blowtorch. You will choose your favourite from a selection of coloured tube bracelets, before heading off home. The glass charm beads need to put in the kiln to set, but once this is done, you will receive your bead - on your chosen bracelet - in the post!
