Charm jewellery workshop

Last month I went to a great jewellery making workshop held by Nikki McWilliams. This workshop was the brainchild of Nikki, who is best known for her biscuit cushions and pins, Rachel of Oh No Rachio, and Kim of Finest Imaginary, collectively known by their combined name of Oh No Finest Biscuit, and they run the class in various places either together or individually. I'd seen lots of the In Colourful Company crowd with these charm necklaces, so I swore that if the workshop came to Scotland I'd go along! I couldn't make it to the evening one in Glasgow the day before the In Colourful Company walk, but this one of Nikki's in Alloa was perfect for me!

Nikki had a wonderful setup in her workshop, with a large table in a bright room, and the four of us who were taking the class really enjoyed ourselves. It was fun to dig through the tubs of charms to find the perfect ones to represent our personalities, in the perfect colour schemes, and then decorate them with a bit of acrylic paint and attach them to a chain to make a necklace or bracelet. And there was even time to make a keyring/bullet journal charm too! I'd so enjoyed the Pistachio and Hibiscus doughnut from Tantrum Doughnuts on the colour walk, that I painted one of my charms to represent it!

Nikki being Nikki, there were of course some lovely biscuits and cakes provided! And while the cats did not make an appearance during the workshop we did get a peek at them as we left! There was also an opportunity to do a bit of shopping - Nikki had her lovely cushions and pins on display in the room we were working in, and we were allowed to have a rake through her Nikki's Supply Store stock! We all went home with our wallets somewhat lighter after that!
