If you've ever wanted to make your own jewellery, now's the time to learn in a fun and creative environment.

Grafton Artsfest is a week long creative arts festival where over 50 six-day workshops are held in a number of artistic feilds and it is my privelege once again to be teaching a jewellery-making course.

The course will run for 6 days and will cover the basics of working with silver, solder, gem-setting and design. This workshop is ideal for beginners, even those who have never so much as held a file, but will also cater for those with some jewellery making experience. All you need is an open mind, an interest in learning some new skills and a sense of humour. You'll leave at the end of the week, with at least 5 fully finished pieces of original handcrafted jewellery, ready-to-wear and guaranteed to impress your friends.

Grafton Artsfest runs from October 6th to October 11th 2009. Bookings are being accepted now.
