Learn how to make Flower Earrings out of second hand leather! In this workshop we'll focus on 2 main projects with the option to get creative at the end and make your own design. First up, we'll be making a pair of Flower Hoops, then a pair of Blossom Buds. After that, you'll be able to use the leftover flower and leaf shapes to create your own design! At the end of this workshop, you'll have made 3 pairs of earrings.
We will be providing an assortment of flower shapes punched out of second hand leather, and you’ll be able to decorate them and customize the colours using leather paints. The paints are Angelus Leather Paints which are acrylic-based. The amounts we'll be using will be small, and paint accidents are rare - but if you're prone to a little clumsiness you might want to bring a smock or apron. We will have findings such as hoops and hooks in 14K Gold-Plated + Stainless Steel. If you require clip-ons please let us know. If you’d like to upgrade to 14K Gold-Filled Hooks, let us know ahead of time and we can have some available at $6/per pair to add-on.
This workshop may be suitable for children over 10 with a reasonable level of manual dexterity - please check with Jamie if you’ve got questions. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, with a spot purchased for each participant.
Refunds / Cancellations
- This workshop is refundable up to 1 week in advance. Cancellations within 1 week of the workshop are non-refundable, as we begin painting leather and punching up shapes up to a week in advance
