Wildcrafted Pendants in Silver and Silk

Description

Wildcrafted silver pendant and botanically dyed silk ribbon workshop with Dripped Goods & Landlines Studio. Join us for a beautiful and immersive workshop in collaboration with Amy Flynn of Dripped Goods, where we will create with nature. Hosted at the Landlines studio, the session will include a short walk to gather local flora, allowing you to personalise your creation while fostering a meaningful connection to the Wirral landscape. Amy will guide you in creating your own unique, hand sculpted pendant in recycled silver, featuring impressions of locally foraged foliage. You will shape a one-of-a-kind piece that holds personal meaning, whether you see it as a charm, talisman, or amulet. You will learn the basics of working with soft wax using the gathered materials from our walk in the local environment to create impressions in the surface of the wax to form our pendants. This is a slow and mindful process. To elevate your pendant with a beautiful and luxurious silk ribbon tie, Angie and Nicky of Landlines Studio will show you how to use your foraged material to naturally dye silk, or vegan silk if you prefer. This involves using a botanical printing method that creates an imprint of leaves and petals on fabric, to capture the unexpected beauty of natural colour, making it truly personal and unique, rooted in place, and will allow you to style your jewellery however you choose. Once cast in metal these textures will be preserved in the jewellery. Casting takes place after the workshop and each item is hand-finished by Amy. Your finished pendants will come beautifully styled with the silk ribbons in a keep safe box, this process takes approximately 4 weeks. Drinks and light refreshments will be available. Please wear weather appropriate clothing for our short walk to collect foliage. Important Info: Please note our studio is located on the second floor of a Grade I listed building.
