Learning
We have spent 4 years developing an event that is accessible but also challenging. That pushes the boundaries of wire jewellery design and teaching to create an event that encourages students to step out of their comfort zone and try new things.
We provide a dynamic and safe learning environment where students can learn and grow and often the experience is more than just the wire jewellery. The retreat is a family, you can join us for 1 year or like make of our students you can keep coming back year after year. Some of our loyal students have been with us since the beginning! How ever many times you come to the retreat you will always find a warm welcome, lots of laughs, delicious food, friends with the same obsessions and lifelong connections and a community to belong to.
The week is a chance to step away from everyday life, to stop thinking about whats for tea, the washing, the school run, and all the other million jobs that fill our brains and prevent us from creating. As we provide a beautiful clean and cosy lace to stay, a fully set up and stocked workroom and tool bag, all the materials and someone to cook and clear away 3 meals a day, you are free to devote all you attention to the tasks at hand. For some of our students this has been the freedom they need to get their creative mojo back, to allow their head to empty and to unleash the creative side!
Our tutors are hand picked not only for their skills in metal or wire for but also for their experience running their own business or working in the jewellery industry. They have a unique perspective on the jewellery world and as you spend time with them they share their knowledge freely.
