Vintage beaded earring workshop
Enjoy a creative escape with this colourful jewellery workshop. Join Leila from @spark_and_shadow in this friendly, relaxed session, where we’ll focus on the design and creation of your own personalised earrings, using vintage and upcycled beads.
You’ll be guided through the process in simple steps, before selecting your own bespoke mix from the kaleidoscope of elements available.
Whether you prefer bright and bold or pastel and delicate, you’ll be able to experiment with styles, to craft something truly meaningful. Our fun cluster style means you can also mix-n-match your creation to create up to 7 different ways to wear your earrings!
With exclusive access to some of Leila’s very own collection of vintage glass, porcelain and enamel, this is your opportunity to create something as unique as you are.
An engaging and rewarding afternoon - you’ll have your ready-to-wear, revived earrings completed by the end of the session.
Hosted in the welcoming workshop space above the Elsie B shop, with a 2 hour slot, everyone can explore their creativity at their own pace.
