We’ll get the kettle on for tea, proper coffee and home made biscuits as I demonstrate different processes to help fire up your creative juices and get the best out of this material before you get into designing.

Choose to make stud earrings, earring charms or necklaces, in 8 different shapes. As for colour and pattern - the sky is the limit! Once you are happy with the designs you’d like to make, I’ll be on hand every step of the way as you cast your 4 pieces of jewellery.

The final step of the process needs to happen at least 24 hours later to allow the stone composite to set so we’ll practice on some older pieces and you’ll receive your designs in the post with all the equipment you need, ready to finish.

You will:

• Make four pieces of jewellery in this 2.5 hour workshop

• Learn about stone composite and how to use this amazing material for jewellery making

• Spend some time designing your jewellery to get the best results for your final pieces

• Prepare a mould with different types of findings and make earrings or necklace pendants

• Mix and dye the composite to create your own unique colours

• Learn three different casting techniques - apply them to your pieces to create a range of patterns

• Discover how to sand and seal your jewels to create beautiful finished pieces
