We’re curating a month-long programme of hands-on workshops, so that everyone visiting the festival can try their hand at making jewellery. We’re inviting organisations and makers to run jewellery making workshops of all kinds, from half-day beginner classes to sessions for experienced makers, every day throughout May 2027. If that sounds like you, this is your open call.
