It’s the morning after the evening before.
It was great but not what I expected. I thought we’d all be starting from scratch, sat round a table while the teacher explains techniques to us. But it seemed only my friend and I were the only people who weren’t already in the middle of a project.

We were shown how to start making a ring, cutting the right amount and annealing it with an instrument I like to refer to as a flame thrower. Enameling was also shown to us which was surprisingly quick and easy.

We got chatting to some ladies there, one was making a Celtic headband for her friend who was some kind of priestess!!! It was very busy and noisy and with only 1 teacher it got a bit chaotic. It seems that we make and item, weigh it then pay, so I can keep most of my money!!

The ring we’ve started to make looks like a little canoe at the moment. Hopefully it will improve next week.
