Jewellery Making Class
Everyone working hard on Monday

On Monday five ladies  from the Gran Alicant area attended a polymer jewellery making class at Tutti’s bar and restaurant. We started at midday  and after selecting the colours we wanted started making geometric canes for our jewellery. After forming our canes we shaped them into beads for bracelets. Whilst the beads were baking in the oven we formed pendants and matching circular beads. After 2 and a half hours we were starving so took a well deserved break and tucked into delicious sandwiches supplied by Sirus, the owner of Tutti’s.

After lunch the lesson continued using silver wire to make links for the bracelets and ear wires for earrings. Once the polymer beads and pendants were cool they were varnished and 15 minutes later we started to put our jewellery together. Five hours after the lesson began we were done, everyone had made a pendant with matching beads, bracelet with silver wire and polymer beads and a set of earrings. We even had time to make jazzy key covers and charms for our keyrings!

So at about 5 o’clock the ladies went home for a well deserved rest. My husband and I tidied up and had a quick coffee before heading home. In conclusion I have to say the lesson went really well and would like to thank Sandy, Sue, Denise, Jackie and Anne for being a great class and for all their efforts during the day. If you would like to see a selection of the jewellery they made it can be seen in the students gallery.
