Penola Workshops & Studio Update

I recently travelled to Penola, South Australia, for the Penola Arts Festival. I was invited by Rachael Messenger to do four jewellery-making workshops over two days. It was a great success and a lot of fun!
The classes were aimed at beginners, but seeing the final results, you'd never know that most of the ladies had never made any jewellery before. Each class ran for four hours and students completed a matching set of two jewellery items made in Sterling Silver, with a couple of pieces also incorporating copper.
Rachael was a wonderful hostess (she even cooked us scones!!) and we really had a great time being creative and making lots of noise.


Sterling Silver rings made in class.
Looking forward to doing it again next year !!

Studio Update
Still making progress on the studio, slowy but surely. I have so many workshops planned that I am just dying to get it finished. Still, a good thing takes time and it is looking good.....



The ceiling is up.....lookin' nice
