Overview

Shweshwe is a South African fabric that is steeped in a rich history. It is also made from 100% cotton, which makes jewellery we’ll be crafting hypoallergenic. The story behind our brand is also a bittersweet one that celebrates the designer’s mom. There will also be some local tunes to set the tone during our class.

What's included

  • Materials and Tools
  • Beverages - coffee, teas, water, hot chocolate, etc

What to expect

This fabric jewellery workshop takes place at my home studio in Bo Kaap,
Here we’ll get to know each other over a beverage - coffee, tea, juice, etc - and some local beats. We’ll also get acquainted with a proudly South African fabric called shweshwe, which I'll show you how to manipulate into bold and bright jewellery pieces - a necklace and a bracelet or 2 necklaces or 2 bracelets. What you make you get to take! All of these are great as gifts or wearable souvenirs.

There will also be a variety of readymade shweshwe jewellery from our range available for purchase at a 10% discount - subject to availability. Cash and card payments are accepted.

Please note that the workshop takes 1.5 hours for up to 3 guests. An additional 30min will need to be added per guest above 3. Eg:

3 guests - 1.5hrs
4 guests - 2hrs
5 guest - 2.5hrs

Can’t wait to get my make on with you!
