Recycled Gold Ring/Bangle Workshop

Learn how to recycle and remodel your old, unworn jewellery in this full day workshop. Bring along your own gold or silver to melt down and transform into a new piece of jewellery or use Megan’s scrap gold for a fee (approx £100-150 for a ring in 9ct). Please ensure the pieces you are bringing have a hallmark on them to show the metal quality, if in doubt just get in touch and we can advise. If your pieces have gemstones in them these can be removed at the beginning of the workshop before melting the metal down.

Live Music

Janice Burns & Jon Doran

Janice Burns & Jon Doran are an award-winning Anglo-Scottish duo who came together after discovering a shared love of traditional music. Their songs tell vivid stories about the nature of life and our place in the world. Janice & Jon’s ‘clever and uncluttered musical storytelling’ (Songlines) comes alive through tight vocal harmonies and sensitive interplay between mandolin, bouzouki and guitar. Their arrangements have a spellbinding presence and an understated energy that transports songs from the pages of books and manuscripts into the imagination of the listener.
