Sharing the Passion

Good morning! Yesterday was a day I had awaiting for quite some time. The highlight (and what a highlight!) was a Jewellery Making workshop I set up at Soap Café in Rudolph Street, Sliema. I had been pondering about sharing my passion for jewellery with others for quite a while but was a bit surprised and a little overwhelmed as well when Charlene Mercieca, the lady who does magic with soap, suggested setting one up at her shop. Now that the first workshop is over, I am so ecstatic that I cannot understand why I waited so long to take the plunge!

Yesterday I was greeted by six exceptional ladies, who, like me, love crafts and have their fingers itching to try new art projects. At first they seemed a bit puzzled when I started taking out all sorts of beads and findings and crimps and thing. Yes findings can have that effect on people on their first encounter, they are small but the range is never-ending! Once they put their hands on the beads, it was a completely different story! I was so pleased to see the ladies create their first jewellery, and with such nonchalance, and to see their final products – which turned out exceptionally well considering they were first attempts!

Now there is only one thing I hope – that I have rubbed on some of my jewellery passion onto them too… I’m sure they’re hooked as well!

The next Jewellery Making Workshop will be held on Saturday 26^th March at 10:30am. Email me on info@panterinajewellery.com for further details
