This is a fun activity in Edinburgh
Join this glass bead necklace-making workshop at the Edinburgh Open Studio and discover the art of creating bespoke jewellery in a welcoming space nestled in the heart of Leith.
Guided by your expert teacher, you'll be introduced to each stage of crafting your unique necklace – from selecting and shaping vibrant glass beads to assembling your creation with professional tools and techniques. You'll enjoy a live demonstration and plenty of hands-on practice as you explore the colourful possibilities of glasswork and jewellery design.
During the workshop, you'll learn:
- The Trejayne Glass Studio story
- The fundamentals of flameworking equipment
- Choosing your preferred colours for your bead
- How to melt and combine glass on a mandrel
- Annealing beads for strength and longevity
- Cleaning and finishing your bead ready for assembly
- Professionally linking your bead onto your choice of chain
- Gift wrapping for someone special or walking away wearing it
With the friendly support of your teacher throughout the session, this experience is perfect for all abilities – from absolute beginners to budding makers. By the end of the class, you'll proudly take home your very own glass bead necklace, a beautiful keepsake of your newfound skills or a meaningful gift for a loved one. You'll walk away with a sense of pride in your handiwork and a spark of inspiration for your next creative project.
Please note, this is an adults-only workshop (16+) as you'll be working with an open flame and molten glass.
