: Jewellery Making Holiday in France 2008 2009

Would you like to make your own jewellery but don’t really know where to start ?

Or maybe you’ve reached the stage where you would like a little help developing the skills you have picked up ?

Or perhaps you just want the time and space to create ?

Well we will be running 3 week long workshops this year, the first over the Christmas week and the second over the New Year. Just imagine, a whole week of making jewellery !

The courses will take place in the beautiful and under-developed Aveyron in South Western France, we will be taking over a summer season restaurant which has a wonderful location on the side of a large lake surrounded by trees and countryside.

These will be ideal breaks for anyone interested in jewellery making, whether you are a complete beginner (in which case we will take you through all the basics) or a little more experienced but wanting to expand into chain making, wire wrapping etc or just want the time to yourself to do your own thing at the workshops.

There will be no single supplement and vegetarians will be well fed !
