Pudsey Wedding Fayre Success!

Last Saturday was the first wedding fayre held at Pudsey Parish Church and it was organised by mother and daughter team Beverley and Becca. They did a fantastic job and so did all the other helpers and exhibitors on the day and it meant the fayre was a success.
All the stalls were busy including our own Wedding Day Silver which also had the full range of Lily-May bridal accessories to purchase on the day. Things really picked up at 1pm when the bridal catwalk began though and everyone came to see the beautiful but affordable wedding dresses for sale through the Oxfam Bridal Range.

Statement pieces were a hit on the day

Clarise Jewellery Visit to Benton Park School

Last Wednesday we were invited to run a full day's jewellery making workshop for a class of twelve year 9 girls at Benton Park School in Leeds. It was a very productive day will every student making a piece they could take home and wear.
Initially we had planned to use sterling silver ring blanks and add metal clay syringe paste and colourful glass beads and chips but the school had ordered sheet metal instead of rings so we had to adapt our design to make earrings and pendants instead.

The girls were all very quiet and got on so well with their work and they all seemed pleased with what they made. They have asked us if we will go back in the next few weeks to make the rings we had originally planned so we are looking forward to that.
