Wow
The Silver Clay Taster 3-hour workshop continues to be popular this year. I have one space left this month and have sold out the three workshops after that. I have added another weekend date in April and I also have a weekday in April if that's your preference.
If you do prefer weekends then jump in while you can! The Arienas Collective has limited weekends left where I can slot in an extra date so it isn't as easy as you might think!
Here's the link you need. There are dates available for the whole of 2024
And if you're already booked in - thank you! I look forward to it.

Time to reveal the mystery 😉. So... the stone I chose is Baltic amber 🧡💛. You can find my "Sacred bee" pendant already on my website and in my Etsy shop:
https://drakonaria.com/p/1749/sacred-bee
https://www.etsy.com/shop/drakonaria
This piece is my miniature, sculptural homage to honey bees, wild bees and other pollinators - so important for our survival as a species and so beautiful! 🐝
If you would like to have this piece with a different stone - just let me know! ✨ And happy Autumn Equinox everyone! 🍂
Czas na rozwiązanie zagadki 😉. Do pszczelego wisiorka wybrałam bursztyn 🧡💛. Pełen ciepłego światła i miodowych odcieni. "Czcigodna pszczoła" jest już dostępna u mnie na stronie:
https://drakonaria.com/pl/p/1749/czcigodna-pszczola
To taki mój maleńki, rzeźbiarski hołd dla pszczół miodnych, dzikich, a także innych gatunków owadów zapylających - tak ważnych dla przetrwania ludzkości i przepięknych samych w sobie 🐝.
Na życzenie pszczółka może otrzymać też inny kamień - dajcie znać ✨. I pięknej Równonocy Jesiennej dla Was!

OUR NEW WORK STATIONS...

The next step in getting ready for this Friday’s re-opening is setting up individual, socially-distanced work stations.

We’ve been working hard with our amazing team of artists and makers to prepare for delivering our workshops under the new coronavirus guidelines.

Gone for now is our big, beloved kitchen table (which we’d all normally sit around) to make way for 6 individual work stations. Each set of two desks has a screen in-between. And each set of desks is spaced 2m apart.

Each desk has an individual set of materials and equipment for your use only. Any shared equipment will be managed by the artist or maker running your workshop, and cleaned in-between uses. In this photo you can see how we set up with for her silver clay beginner jewellery workshops. The clear screens help make sure Anna can still keep an eye on what everyone is doing.

Where appropriate, you also have the option of bringing your own equipment and materials. And some of our creatives have kits available to buy if you’d rather have your own to use on the day and then take home.

More details will be sent out with your workshop confirmation email.

Meantime, if you’d like to read about what else we’re doing to keep our participants, artists and space as safe as possible, you can download our COVID-19 re-opening guidelines from our website home page (a pop up box will appear). Just click on the website link in the bio.

And if you’re a little nervous about getting back to creating indoors in groups, you’re not alone! Drop us an email or give us a call before booking if you’d like to know more or chat through any concerns. Life is full of uncertainties and no one can guarantee their space is 100% safe. We’re doing the best we can to keep our workshop space as safe as possible, but do let us know if there’s anything else that you think might help.
