Description

Looking for something to do in the summer holiday? This is a very relaxing workshop anyone over the age of eight can participate in. From experience, I know that once you've found your own rhythm, there's no stopping the creative process and many more bracelets will be made,  because it's so much fun to do! ​First, you'll make a practise piece, which looks great dangling from a bag or makes a pretty keyring. This is followed by braiding  a bracelet or accessory in colours of your choice.  You can embellish it with beads or even charms if you like. ​After that, you can take it a step further and make a beaded bracelet, using the same technique, but with a very different outcome. If there's still time left, you can have a go at different techniques, expanding your Kumihimo experience! I'm convinced you'll want to make more and I will give you a Colourbuzz adapted Kumihimo disk so you can continue your Kumihimo journey. ​​​You will also come across some very useful jewellery making skills at the start and finish of your pieces. I will need a minimum of four people to run this workshop. Minors need to be accompanied by a participating adult. ​No experience is needed.

For more than 17 years I have provided after school Art Clubs and I still love it, but I have always wanted to work with adults so I get to work with materials and techniques that need more time and are too advanced to use with kids. I also want to prove that everyone can enjoy being creative and make something they are happy with. So far it works. After a Colourbuzz workshop everyone goes away with work they are proud of and pleased with! I offer workshops in my studio, but I can also travel and work with groups of all ages. Using my experience of working with primary school kids, I'm also happy to travel to a home/venue to do creative activities for a birthday party. I have completed a Creative Crafts Course an Advanced Silversmithing course and hold QTLS Status. In addition I am DBS checked.
