Tiara Workshop Complete

This morning we had a wonderful time working on side tiaras at our Make Your Own Side Tiara workshop.

One of our brides, who shall remain anonymous to avoid spoiling any big day surprises, was working on a vintage style design, which incorporated scroll designs from the jeweled waistband on her beautiful dress.

After sketching out some design options, and having a really good play around with cornucopia of beads, pearls and crystals, we set to work.

The finished design was beautiful and truly unique, and I can't wait to share some more pictures with you after the big day!

Still searching for the perfect wedding headdress?  Side tiaras are the hottest style to go for this year.  The asymetric look is so flattering and a side tiara works equally well with an up or down hair style.  They are comfortable to wear and easy to put on and take off - perfect if you don't have a hairdresser on the day or are getting married abroad and won't meet your hairdresser until the last minute.

Here's your chance to design and make your own heirloom piece to wear on the big day and treasure forever, safe in the knowlege that an expert (that's me!) is standing by to make sure you get it spot on.

During this fun 4 hour workshop you will design your own side-tiara (with as much help as you need), master simple jewellery making techniques, and bring your design to life using the freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals and other beautiful materials.  You will take home your headdress beautifully gift boxed and ready for your big day.

Do bring along pictures of your dress and any other wedding style inspirations.

The workshop includes all tools, an amazing selection of materials, silver or gold plated headband, tea, coffee and cake.

"Thank you for hosting the course, it was absolutely brilliant, very inspirational and exactly what I needed to help me believe that what I'm trying to do is the right thing and more importantly- achievable!"

 Jewellery Designer, Attendee of our May 2012 Workshop

 

I am so delighted with the momentum our workshops are gathering, and am thrilled to see more and more crafts people (alright, women, they are all women so far!!) move their businesses forward through a clearer vision, better planning and increased confidence in what they want to acheive.

Previous attendees get to grips with their business plans (and are still smiling!)

Who should attend?
If you have a passion for your craft or hobby, and dream of making your living from it one day, you should be there.  Previous attendees have included jewellery designers, artists, textile designers and furniture designers.

I have met so many talented artists, designers and crafts people, who are held back from becoming super sucessful by only a lack of business experience and a lack of confidence.  So, I have devised a 2 day workshop to share what I have learnt over the years, and hopefully provide the foundations to turn dreams into reality.

I have a whole bagfull of dos and don'ts to share, and lots of tips for getting to the top.

What does the workshop cover?
The course focuses on business planning and marketing, which are the key areas that many talented creatives fall down in.  We take a practical, informal approach with lots of discussions and exercises which means you will go home with written plans to get started on, and hopefully a new found confidence.
