Join Sally Cuthbert of Littlehouse Jewellery and learn how to turn recycled metal into decorative garlands in this free workshop. Using simple everyday tools you will explore essential metalworking techniques to create leaves with unique textures and details. 

Date: Saturday 11 October 2025 

Time: 10:00 - 12:00

Price: Free

To book your free place on this workshop, on-the-day request a token from a member of our team as you enter the exhibition. Places are limited so it is recommended to arrive early to secure your place. 

Sally will share how to transform reclaimed metal through cutting, flattening and embossing to create garlands, wreaths, or posies; perfect for home decoration or gifting. No prior skills are required, just creativity and a willingness to repurpose everyday materials. 

By the end of the workshop, you will have created your own piece and developed valuable skills in sustainable making. 

All tools and essential materials will be provided, and they are easy to source from home. The aim is to create an environmentally-friendly and sustainable craft, so you are welcome to bring your own recycled metals such as hand cream or tomato paste tubes. Spaces are limited so it is recommended to book in advance. 

Littlehouse Jewellery blends traditional jewellery-making techniques with innovative design, creating handcrafted pieces that balance scale, function, and detail.
