Tiara, Bead Jewellery And Bridal Veil Making WorkshopsExpert tuition in an inspirational settingDuring these inspirational courses Andrea will enable each student to realise their own individual pieces using a variety of useful techniques and materials including wire, pearls and beads. All tools will be provided, but materials are not included. We have a range of wire, Swarovski crystal, beads, pearls, jewellery findings and tools which will be available for purchase on the day. As a rough guideline students spend on average £10-£15 on a level 1 tiara course and will have enough wire to spare to create more pieces when they get home, or use on another course. No experience is necessary for 1st level courses Local B&B and self catering accommodation is available. Please enquire for further details. Portland is situated on the South Coast of Dorset at the heart of the Jurassic Coastline, 6 miles from Weymouth and offers un-rivalled views, cliff top walks and pebble beaches. Delicious homemade cakes, tea and coffee will be available throughout the day. Groups are welcome - we can also arrange a special date for a group of four or more. We also offer half day taster courses for hen groups. Gift vouchers are now available for your creatively inclined friends and family. all the work shown on this page has been created by students Workshop Details: |
