Work Shop at Cahir Co. Tippearay

Saturday last, 14th November I had a brilliant day teaching up and coming jewellery designers, in Cahir Co. Tipperary, at Craft Granary. We started at 10.30 and after the inital explaning how we go about designing necklaces, earrings and bracelets the teenagers got started.

The teenagers ranged between the ages of 13 to 18 years, there was eight taking part. Not all girls one young man braved it out Edward "Eddie". They experimented with various beads and wire designs.

The one part that slowed a few down in the begining was trying to get the crimps to stay put and the wire wrapping! not to mention lots of beads having a mind of their own falling to the floor or taking off mid-air!

All in all the feed-back was that they all enjoyed it and now had new friends with a similar interest. The next thing on their list was to locate a good bead shop near them all.

To all the Mum's and Dad's of the teenagers that took part, "Sorry if they are now looking for beads online- maybe a christmas present this year will be easy for you"!

A big thank you to Kathryne at Craft Granary for all the help in setting up.
