Beading Jewellery Workshop (Age 7+) – Summer Holiday Workshops
Southern Maltings
Thu 1st August 2024
1pm
Beading Jewellery Workshop. A chance to learn how to make jewellery with local silversmith and artist Tai Christie.
In this workshops children will learn the intricate art of beading to create a bracelet and a bag charm.
This session is aimed at children aged 7+ and is a drop off workshop (all our children's workshop tutors have a valid DBS), although parents are welcome to stay as well, and if they would like to join in they can purchase a ticket too. Come on your own for some creativity or bring a friend, your mum or your auntie for a couple of hours mindfulness.
In this 2 hour session your child will be taught the basics to start making jewellery. Perfect to wear yourself or as a gift.
Tai has many years teaching all ages from primary school children through to teens and adults and worked for many years at Millmead Primary School in Hertford, running afterschool art, mindfulness and gardening clubs. She is a local artist who specialises in printmaking and silversmithing, now also running silversmith workshops from her home in Wadesmill. Tai uses botanicals and nature as her inspiration in all her art. She will also be teaching our new afterschool art clubs in the Autumn, where amongst other things primary children and teenagers (in separate sessions) will be able to learn the craft of printmaking, collage, drawing, and other arts and crafts, with a different theme or artist inspiration each week.
Additional Information:
The workshop is being run with a maximum capacity of 10 and will be from 1pm - 3pm on Thursday 1st Aug.
This session can be booked together with Tai's morning Botanical Print (7+) Workshop for a full day of mindful art and craft.
Both sessions will be held in our lower studio.
