Workshops & Classes
We'll soon be announcing the workshop programme for the October 2013 event.
This year we've added something a little different. Not only will we be offering a varied programme of hour long taster classes at the show on Saturday 19th October, but also two Mini Masterclasses. You can come along and enjoy either a three hour session and expert tuition, or choose from our selection of hour long classes.
Tutors already confirmed:
Amy Kohn of Amy Kohn Designs
Bonnie McGough
Jema Hewitt
Katie Dean
London Jewellery School
Michaela Carrington of Michaela Carrington Designs
Riverside Beads
Surrey Jewellery School
Our taster classes run for an hour each, leaving you plenty of time for your shopping. It's the perfect opportunity to try your hand at that technique you've been desperate to learn. All materials and tools are kindly supplied by our sponsors, so all you need do is book your place online, bring along your emailed order confirmation, and enjoy the fun.
We do urge you to book in advance because classes at previous events have sold out well before the show date so if you're interested in taking part, please do pre-book.
Also, it's cheaper to book in advance rather than on the day. Mini Masterclasses MUST be booked in advanced and cannot be booked on the day, and there are a very limited number of spacers available.
Plus - All workshop attendees qualify for a 25% reduction on show tickets purchased at time of workshop booking. Just add your workshop choices to the basket and your show ticket choice, then enter the discount code WORKSHOP at the payment stage.
