All course bookings/attendees are given a Free, high quality Sketchbook - handmade in the UK, spiral bound and of very good quality. We hope this will encourage you to continue jotting down designs and ideas when you get home.
How do I book ?
Courses can be booked here online, or by telephone, though we can only take card payments online, courtesy of Paypal. Cheques are welcome if you prefer this option.
If you have any unanswered questions after viewing the site, please email or phone us (we don't bite !).
Do you take Group Bookings ?
Yes - though we try to keep numbers to about 6 per course. Attending on your own is a great way to meet like minded people. A group of friends/colleagues can have a very livey day out. We even cater for small hen parties as a daytime event.
Is you partner hopeless at choosing you presents ? Don't settle for a set of wheel trims or a new steam iron again!

Bryncurl Workshops run Art, Design and Craft Courses,
Focussing on Jewellery Making (Silver, Felted, Bridal Tiara and PMC), Felt Making, and Garden Design.
Where are the Courses held ?
The Courses are held in our own, purpose built workshop / studio, which has been built to the latest regulations, and provides a comfortable, well illuminated and insulated environment in which to work. It's not a village hall, or drafty shed. We aim to be professional in all that we do - we hope that your first impression warrants this.
We are situated In Lyonshall, on the Herefordshire / Welsh border, in the
West Midlands within beautiful countryside.
What will you make ?
The website will give you more information, but anything from a simple
pair or earrings, a silver pendant, through to a felt bag, felt beaded
jewellery, your Bridal Tiaras and even a new design for your garden.
What is PMC ?
It's just short of pure magic ! Precious Metal Clay (PMC) is a putty like material, which when fired in a kiln or by blow torch, changes into a solid piece of Fine Silver (99% pure silver). It is quite new in the UK, and was developed in Japan in the early 1990's. It allows a freedom of form with amazing capabilities for jewellery making.
What is included ?
Most courses include enough materials for a basic project, but further
materials can be purchased at reasonable prices on the day. Typically,
enough Silver to make earrings or a pendant will rarely cost more than
£10.00. A felt bag is unlikely to require more than £5 worth of wool or
decorations. Be warned however, that we also stock a range of very tempting craft supplies, beautiful beads and super soft Merino wool ! Peruse at your leisure - we're more than happy to simply inspire you to keep going with your newly acquired skills. You can always order materials online at craft.uk.com or by phone.
Do I need to bring food?
Only if you want to, or have any special dietary requirements.
Lunch, refreshments and scrummy cakes are included on all courses
