GBBS Online - Emilie with Sylvia Fairhurst

Saturday 15th November

Time: 2.00 - 7.00pm (BST).

Join Sylvia Fairhurst as she shows you how to make her delightful Emilie necklace, inspired by the plethora of circles that Gustav Klimt used in his artworks.Sylvia's necklace includes a collection of Herringbone circles, with varying degrees of embellishment. Some reversing of the colours makes an interesting combination and they are connected by a series of different links, suspended from a chain of embellished, Right-Angle Weave.

Knowledge of Herringbone, Peyote and Right Angle Weave would be useful for this online workshop.

Whether you are a member of the Guild or a guest you are welcome to join Sylvia, so don't be shy, make your booking today by clicking here.
