The idea is everybody brings a bucket, collects materials from the beach in the morning and we make them up into contemporary jewellery in the afternoon.
It was a lovely sunny day on Saturday, the cafe is very chilled with gorgeous views and we had a delicious lunch and drinks included: all for £38.
Here's a link to the cafe site: http://www.windsweptcafe.co.uk/. The next one there is booked for 27th June: I'll put a list of other venues for workshops below; and I'll put some pictures I took on the day on blog later.
Here's a comment from one of the participants:
"Hi Sarah
just a quick note to say thank you so much for Saturday - I came home absolutely buzzing!!
keep me posted for any further workshops I have some friends who'd be very interest in coming along."
I've sorted out more courses at some of the best venues in Cornwall including:
* The Hotel Tresanton ( http://www.tresanton.com/) in St Mawes: 'Vintage Wedding Jewellery and Tiaras' 7th Nov
* The Cove ( http://www.thecovecornwall.com/) near Penzance, 9th May
* The Golden Mill, Grampound: http://www.goldenmill.co.uk/: 'Beach Finds' and 'Wedding Jewellery' 2nd May
* Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery: www.mcsj.co.uk: 'Wedding Jewellery', 14th Nov
Wanted to make sure that if you come on one of the courses you will:
* have a relaxing, 'treat' day in a fantastic location
* have a delicious lunch
* enjoy a laid-back, creative group atmosphere
* get value for money: workshops between £38 and £85 (depending on venue lunch etc)
* as well as learning a new skill which you can use to save (or even make) money: making jewellery for presents or even to sell for eg
Another course that's coming up soon is 'Vintage tiara and Wedding Jewellery' Course at the Cove on 9th May: this is aimed at brides and their friends/families who want to
* make something individual to wear on their wedding day: perhaps using family brooches for 'something old'
* save money and learn a new skill: £58 for the course is a lot cheaper than buying a tiara!
* perhaps have an unique hen weekend: making their jewellery to wear on the wedding day on the Saturday; and spa treatments, lazing by the pool the next!
Of course, anybody is welcome and people may come who are thinking about setting up a business making jewellery; or they might just like vintage style jewellery to wear and give as gifts: have a look at my Picasa album to give yourself an idea of what you could make on the day: http://picasaweb.google.com/sarahdrew50/RecycledJewellery#
The Cove is in a fantastic position, set in the cliffs over Lamorna Cove. The course would be £58 including coffee and lunch; we can offer overnight deals from around £30per person (£120 for 4 bed appartment).
Here's some more dates: just call or email me if you'd like to check anything or arrange a private workshop for a hen party or group of friends: happy making and might see you in Cornwall soon!
