JEWELRY WORKSHOPS

Did you know that we at Shop organize jewelry workshops that are always tailored in collaboration with the customer?

We started touring Finland with our workshop packed in a car in the spring of '24 and now we've been able to visit Kokkola, Helsinki, Lappeenranta and even Espoo!

We believe that creativity is built into us, and while making earrings may seem like a step out of your comfort zone to many, it has been amazing to see how beautiful and unique creations are created every time!

Many companies hold jewelry workshops where you assemble earrings from ready-made parts, but we wanted to go one step further: the workshops are always held in a place with an oven nearby, so you can shape the earrings made of polymer clay from scratch yourself and bake them for the necessary 30 minutes at 130C!

We will bring everything you need to the workshop, from platforms to tools. All you need to bring is an open and happy mind :-)

The price of the jewelry workshops depends on the number of participants. Generally, the price is around 35-45€ / participant (incl. VAT), which includes instructions for making 1-3 pairs of earrings from start to finish, and of course the jewelry itself to take home! Since we are a charity brand, the price also includes a 35% share that goes to helping ex-child soldiers in East Africa. We also know that not everyone has pierced ears, and our workshops have produced both necklaces and key chains.

A workshop is a wonderful way to spend time together so the recommended time for a jewelry workshop is 3 hours, minimum 2 hours. There are many steps in making jewelry: initial shaping into parts, baking in the oven, grinding the jewelry pieces, drilling and attaching metal jewelry parts, such as with spacers and hooks.

Feel free to get in touch and let's plan a happy time together for your work community/church party/bachelorette party/birthday party, etc.!

" Jewelry workshop... expectations were high, but I was excited. Will I be able to, will I come up with any ideas, what others are doing and how great others have them... The relaxed, open, happy atmosphere of the workshop opened the doors to creativity :) everyone can do it, everyone can... with inspiring and competent guidance. What joy and delight in the results of your own time! And wonderful and amazing to admire the results of each other's time! How each of you managed to create something... Enthusiasm was awakened.
