Love your pets and want to make them something special? In this fun, hands-on jewellery workshop, you’ll design and craft your own custom pet tag using copper while learning a range of jewellery making and sandcasting techniques.
Students will impress their chosen template into the sand before the casting process. Once cast, the lettering and pattern stamps are hammered onto the surface. You’ll refine your piece by cutting, filing, sanding, and assembling your finished tag ready to attach to your furry friend.
Whether its playful, quirky or heartfelt, you’ll leave with a beautifully handcrafted keepsake that’s unique as your pet.
Our jewellery tutor, Alida, will guide you step by step, so no experience is needed, just bring your creativity and love for animals!
What to bring:
- A water bottle and snack or lunchbox for longer classes
