Create your own stylish, light-catching pendant or brooch using old window panes and Argentium Sterling Silver. Use vintage glass salvaged from old homes and buildings to create your own pair of unique jewellery adornments.

You will be using a combination of hand and power tools to manipulate recycled glass and metal to construct a unique brooch or pendant. During the workshop, you will discover the arts of manipulating salvaged glass, glass-cutting and assembling your pieces.

Choose from a variety of beautiful glass colours, shapes and textures, and work with glass- and stone-specific tools to create stunning patterns in your glassware.
