Welcome to the first of the Lydia Lotus Designs crystal necklace workshops - run from her open studio at The Fold, Bransford, Worcestershire.
 
Lydia will be holding her relaxing crystal workshops with Citrine as the focus for this season's piece of jewellery.
 
Citrine is a joyous stone, enhancing prosperity and an abundance mindset. It's symbolic properties link to the sun and so helps us feel more vigour and vitality when we are near it. I have chosen this stone to work with until the end of August into the first week of Septemeber to ready us for the darker months ahead. Citrine is so uplifting it can help to chase away the winter blues and is a reminder of the Lammas celebrations and harvest when a feeling of plenty was all around us.

How does the session work?
You will be given the tools and materials you need to create a beautiful piece of jewellery. Lydia will talk you through everything you need to know and get you started and on your creative adventure.
 
 
There is nothing complex or fiddly for you to do in this workshop, just the meditative rhythm of beading. Lydia finishes the jewellery for you, adding on the clasp and ensuring it is at the correct the length for you to wear.
 
 
The beads are small glass delica and seed bead styles. These come in so many different colours, you will be able to choose up to 3 to work with to create a necklace tailored specifically for you.
 
 
The findings and accent beads are all sterling silver - included in the price. You can choose to upgrade to 14k gold fill, if you would rather. This will be paid for on the day as a £5 supplement.
 
 
Cafe Offer!
The amazing cafe at the Fold are offering a £6 voucher to use with them, on the day of your workshop. This is for the purchase of tea/coffee and their huge variety of cakes. You can choose to do this during or after your workshop with me, there is space on the table in my studio to craft and have drinks etc but if you would rather save it for when you are done, then you are wlecome to use this in the cafe and sit in there afterwards.
 
Where are you?
Held in my open studio in the courtyard, located near to the Cafe at The Fold, the table here is set for 4 crafters at one time. This workshop is perfect for friends and small groups or even if you want to create solo. The atmosphere is laid back, it is easy to feel relaxed in here. My front door has my Lydia Lotus Designs Logo on there, you can't miss it.
 
What to bring.
It is important that if you use glasses to read or focus on small things that crafters remember to bring glasses or anything else required to help them see something small, the beads and thread are very thin and delicate so this is a must for you to feel comfortable when threading.
 
Can we change or cancel the session?
Yes, You are able to change a session date or time, subject to availability. Please request any changes to be made within 48hrs of your session.
These workshops are limited to the amount of crystals available and are seasonal, I do not offer refunds for missed sessions.
