Covid-19 update
Classes - We're currently only taking private bookings for up to 3 people per class (at no extra cost). To book, go to the class page, select the number of people in your group and choose a date and time from our online calendar. Hopefully soon we will get back to setting specific class dates for mixed groups again. :)
In usual, non-pandemic times, there is a surcharge for private classes with only one or two participants, which we have waived for the current times. When we get back to our usual booking format, the price shown will be per person to join a group class, and the price for private classes will increase to it's usual level (1.5x for one person or 1.25x for two people).

How many people are you booking for?
Making your own jewellery can be very satisfying, and this workshop will teach you the basic skills required to make gorgeous treasure necklaces. You'll be able to choose from a treasure trove (hence the name) of different beads and charms made from all sorts of different materials; semi-precious stones, pearl, crystal, glass and metal, and make chains of wrapped wire loops to create a fabulous and completely unique antique-style necklace. Enjoy a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and a cup of tea (and biscuits, of course!).
Suitable for complete beginners, you will be guided through every step by Wendy, owner of The Little Craftery, and life-long crafter.
The workshop runs for approximately two hours. Enjoy a chat with like minded people and learn some new skills! All materials and refreshments are included in the price.
FAQs
Who is the class for?
Anyone over the age of 16 is welcome! Suitable for complete beginners or those with more experience, it's a nice relaxed and friendly workshop.
What's involved?
Wendy will take you through the tools and materials you will need and the basic techniques you will learn. You’ll be able to choose the wire and beads you would like to use for your final piece, and Wendy will show you every step of the way to creating your necklace.
What's included?
The price is £22, and includes everything you need: all materials and use of any necessary tools, full instruction from Wendy, and tea and biscuits. You will get to take home the necklace you've made.
What are the design options?
When you arrive at your class, you will be given the choice of a few different colours of wire to use, and you will be able to choose beads from a wide selection (some of which are unique, you might find a real treasure!). The materials Wendy has chosen for the workshop will ensure that your necklace will fit within a similar 'antique' theme, but the choice of beads is so varied, that no two necklaces will ever be the same. Wendy will show you all the techniques you need, to ensure that you make a necklace to be proud of!
How long will the class last?
The class will last approximately two hours. It’s best to allow a little extra time as classes sometimes over-run depending on group sizes.
Where is the class held?
Classes are held in The Little Craftery in Field Row, Worthing, which is designed to be a functional, comfortable workspace for up to 6 participants. The shop will be closed to the public during your class, so you don’t need to worry about interruptions. If you have any special access requirements, please contact Wendy at The Little Craftery before you book to discuss, and to find out if access is available for you.
Do we need to book?
Yes, please do book in advance, as there are a limited number of places on each class (a maximum of 6 people per workshop), and we wouldn’t want you to be disappointed! We require full payment in advance in order to secure your booking. Online payments will be taken securely by either Square or Paypal (don’t worry, you don’t have to have a Paypal account!). If you’d rather not book online, you can book in person at The Little Craftery.
Do I need to bring anything?
All your materials and refreshments are supplied.
It is quite fine work, so if you use reading glasses or similar it may be useful to bring those with you.
Can I cancel or reschedule my booking?
If you are unable to attend your class, please let us know as soon as possible. Cancellations more than 24 hours in advance will receive a full refund. Cancellations less than 24 hours in advance or failure to show up for your class will not be eligible for a refund.
We may occasionally need to cancel a class. If this is the case, we will attempt to contact you in advance as soon as possible to either reschedule your date to another class or offer a full refund, as you prefer.
