CRAFTERS are being invited to a special Mother’s Day gift making workshop in Warwick.
Button Rings and Bead Earrings is being held at St John’s House from 2pm until 4pm on Saturday March 14 – the day before Mother’s Day.
The creative workshop is aimed at getting people together to celebrate the special women in their lives, with some upcycling along the way.
Over two hours, participants will learn how to make two pairs of bead earrings and two button rings to take home and treasure. No experience is needed – just a willingness to have a go and enjoy some creative time.
All materials are provided, but there’s a special invitation to get creative with the past. Guests are encouraged to bring along their own buttons or beads – perhaps from an old coat, a favourite dress, or a long-forgotten jewellery box. Using these personal treasures adds an extra layer of meaning and embraces the joy of upcycling, turning sentimental items into something new and wearable.
Warwickshire County Council’s customer spokesperson Coun Mike Bannister said: “This workshop is a wonderful example of how our heritage venues can bring people together in creative and meaningful ways. It’s not just about making something beautiful to take home, but about spending quality time together, sharing stories, and giving new life to cherished items through upcycling.
“With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s a lovely opportunity for families to slow down, connect, and celebrate the special women in their lives in a really memorable way.”
