*mummy_hen* Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I really want to go to a jewellery making class - have had a look at my evening courses at the local college but they only do one for experienced jewellery makers - have found one in bath but this is only a half day course run at an actual jwellery store and don't know if this would be long enough?!! Has anyone else been to any classes/workshop? Have they found them beneficial. I am a complete novice and would like to do something like this and then learn more from books, etc as i go on. If anyone knows of anywhere that might run something like this a reasonable travelling distance from Stroud, Gloucestershire would much appreicate it!!! I also really want to learn how to knit but that is a different story all together...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 There is a little bead & button shop at a craft centre close to where i live and it runs drop in sessions where the owners and other crafters get together and the more experienced help out the beginners - check to see if there is a class offered at any of the bead & button shops near to you.
