About this Event
Hearts, Hearts and more-hearts!
Location: Slice of Life Gallery - 1636 Venables St
Date: February 5, 2025
Time: 7 to 9 pm
We’ll be making 2-4 pairs of heart-themed earrings using repurposed leather. In this workshop, I’ll be taking you through the process of making a simple pair of tiered heart earrings (pictured in the first photo). This will give you the basic skills and principles of leather earring creation, and you’ll be able to spend the rest of the workshop creating your own designs using hearts and other complementary shapes provided. The shapes will be punched out ahead of time from second hand leather and pre-painted with base colours. We will have a selection of leather paints available if you want to customize your earrings with painted patterns and designs.
No prior experience is needed for this workshop. This workshop may be suitable for children 14 and up, or with a reasonable level of manual dexterity. Parental supervision required for those under 14 (ticket required for all present). The skills involved in this workshop will be painting on small leather pieces, punching holes in medium weight leather and assembling them using jewelry findings. I’m happy to help with assembly for those who need assistance.
Participants will be making a minimum of 2 pairs of earrings, with a maximum of 4 (or more if there’s time and enough leftover materials to accommodate it)
Refund / Cancellation Policy:
- We do not offer refunds for workshops, but can issue you a credit for a future workshop or our online shop (minus a $10 admin fee) if cancelled with more than 48 hours before the workshop
- When possible, we ask that you try to sell or gift your workshop ticket to a friend or acquaintance if you can’t make it! It’s just me (Jamie) managing the bookings, preparing all the materials in the couple days before a workshop. Re-advertising for cancelled spots is extra challenging in those last days of prep, and any effort to take it upon yourself to pass along your ticket if you can’t make it would be greatly appreciated!
