This workshop experience blends mindful time outdoors with hands-on jewellery making. You’ll start with a relaxed beach walk along the Scottish coast, collecting your own sea glass and pottery fragments. Then, back in the studio, you’ll learn two key jewellery-making techniques to turn your seaside finds into unique wearable pieces.
You’ll be guided through every step – from selecting and cleaning your treasures to wrapping and assembling your jewellery. If you prefer, you can also choose from Caroline’s beautiful collection of sea glass gathered from beaches across East Lothian and beyond.I live in Portobello and collect sea glass and pottery from beaches all over East Lothian and Scotland and then turn these into unique pieces of jewellery.
We will meet at the studio and walk to the local beach where we will search for our unique sea glass and pottery treasures. These can then be used to turn into your jewellery. I also have a wide collection which can also be explore and used.
B y the end of the workshop, you’ll get to take away a selection of unique items of jewellery. Using your chosen sea glass, you’ll be shown how to make a pendant necklace and a pair of earrings*. These can be worn straight away or given as a gift.
*if preferred two pendent necklaces can be made.
