Craft Month Jewellery Workshops

Over August Craft Month, I delivered a series of jewellery workshops in the Ulster Museum as part of NMNI's Live and Learn Project for the over 50's age group. 
My aim was to introduce the group to the museum's expanding jewellery collection and encourage them to use elements of traditional and contemporary pieces in their own design. 
We focused our attention particularly on contemporary makers Katy Hackney, Deirdre Mc Crory, Brian Mc Clelland and Lynne Kirstin Murray. 
Combining methods such as painting, printmaking, moulded wire mesh, beading, felt sheets and wool and wood work.
