Students will also have the opportunity to learn:

  • How to make their own unique beads with fabric and paper
  • How to repair broken jewelry
  • How to up-cycle broken, thrifted, or second-hand jewelry and beads into new designs

This is one of four jewelry-making workshops offered by Tamzin Darden.  If you would like to register for other sessions, please see the program pages for Session 2, Session 3, and Session 4.  You do not need to participate in multiple sessions – each is a self-contained workshop.
